What Else Can Go In With .......

Need some help guys if you will be so kind.

I currently have Cardinal Tetra, Guppys and Platies in my tank with a few live plants. But thinking of maybe adding about 3 or so more fish along with a bottom feeder (Wont be added for a few months)

What other fish are compatable with these as i dont want world war 3 kicking off in my tank!

I have had all of you're fish and i would recomend: ballon molies or dalmation molies or kuhli loaches or endlers...

Dwarf Gourami for normal and Kuhli Loaches for bottom feeders. Peaceful and colourful.

Will these be ok in a 64L/14G tank?

I already have 6 Tetra, 3 Guppy and 3 Platies.

I was thinking Mollies but like the Dwarf Gouramis. But not liking the looks of the Kuhli Loches!

Cories? They are great bottom feeders, although to be honest, I think you are really pushing it with your stocking as cories need to be in groups.

 

[twingogeekeo]

Im told not to have cories due to having gravel and it can damage there mouths when feeding as they have like whiskers

I was thinking 3 more of 1 species then a small bottom feeder

Ok, didn't know about your substrate. TBH, every bottom feeder would prefer sand to gravel. Is it an option? Would you change it?

IMO sand looks a bit plan and after a while a bit shabby. I prefer the gravel as you can give the tank a bit of colour and brightness (Even though my gravel is Black, White and Purple).

I've. Got very fine black gravel in mine & my albino plec doesn't seem to have any issues. I think sand looks a bit shabby too but hey, each to their own!!

Anyway back on course

I bought my platies from a guy on ebay that i have noticed has some Dwarf Gouramis for sale. Just not sure which ones.

I dont really want blue ones as i have blue guppy and Cardinal tetras that are also blue and red. My platies are black and yellow. So im thinking the red ones bu scared they may look out of place.

Right today ive popped to a Maidenhead Aqautics near my work and looked at the Dwarf Gouramis and yes fallen in love with them. So after work im going to pick up 2!

Ive been trying to keep all my fish in colours for instant

3x Black platies
3x Blue Guppy
6x Cardinal tetra

But im a bit unsure what to do about the Gouramis. I like them and was thinking having to the same colour.

They are the same as this

But also ive been told this are male and in a tank together maybe become territorial. Any ideas?

That is a male; the females are almost completely silver. You want either one male/two females, or just the one male. Two males would definitely fight in a tank that size.
