What Do You Reckon?

Hey All!
How does the following combination of fish sound?

Glass Catfish, corydoras, gardneri killifish, neon tetras and possibly lamp eyes?

Would be appreciative to know if these species work together. The glass is a shoal of 5 already, the cories a very good shoal and the neons 10. I have two male lamp eyes and trying to consider whether to increase back to a good shoal again or with the introduction of a pair of killifish or male and two females if this would not be a good idea?

Always appreciate your opinions!

What size tank?

 

[lilacamy931]

A160 litre with pea gravel substrate and two filters, heavily planted.

Sounds good to me. But what lamp eye are you talking about a tetra or killi or other?

 

[lilacamy931]

Normani Lampeyes (believe killis?) sorry forgot there was more than one lamp!!!!

I love glass catfish! They grow up to 15cm long and look stunning in a shoal

Well I went ahead and just put the pair of killis in the tank here is a pic of the male

Weirdly enough he has picked a peru gold stripe and seems to realllly like him

The glass' are great, had 6 originally, we lost one weak one but the 5 are doing fab but near impossible to get on camera except for a clear blob! Their shoaling techniques are amazing

Killi fish are a type of fish I have always thought wee great but never had. I would like to see a full tank shot. I love photos.

 

[lilacamy931]

Will do snowflake, they are all put to bed will be sure to get one
