What Do You Think About These Fish For My Tank?

[geo7x]

hi, i have been pondering over this for a while now so i thought i would ask the experts. I am soon going to get a 60x30x30cm tank (24x12x12inches) not sure exact volume but isnt it about 12 uk gallon?
anyway, 3 types of fish have caught my eye over my research: harlequin rasboras, corydoras catfish, and kuhli loaches, so how about this (?):
5 harlequin rasboras
3 julii corydoras
2/3 (what do you think) kuhli loaches.
Any help appreciated.

EDIT: i know in the title it says 'my tank' but i havent actually got the tank yet

5 Harlequin Rasboras, and 3 Julii Cories sound great, you could also add a Dwarf Gourami and a few other small little fish!

Not sure about the kuhili loaches though.

Corys and harlequins are lovely fish, corys are so entertaining, and so are harlequins, good choice.

thanks, are the kuhlis not suitable then?

 

[WILDER]

Yes, but with having corys which are bottom dwellers i don't think you need them.
Leave more room for middle to top dwelling fish.

 

[geo7x]

I may not need them but i think they are soo cute

 

[WILDER]

Should be fine then, as it is up to you.

 

[geo7x]

Hey, why dont you go with 6 Harlequins, 3 cories, and a school of some small tetras.

I like tetras and harlequins as they are active and add alot of movement too the tank. Cories are great!! Never seen kuhilis. but they look nice!

I like the original suggestion of harlequins, corys and huulies. Ok, so it will mean that the top and middle may seem a bit empty, but some people have corydoras-tanks only. I don't see it as getting overcrowded to the point of causing conflict, so it's mainly an aesthetic question. And I'm a great khuulie fan. But I'd go for at least 3 and provide plenty of hidey holes to give them confidence.
