What Fish With What

[greenscooby]

Just been to my LFS to get some ideas of what to add to my tank later down the line, i've got a 110ltr 24.5g uk approx, i currently have

2 x Black neons
2 x Balloon Mollies
5 x Lemon Tetras
3 x Dalmation Platties
3 x Red Platties
and a variety of live plants.

Would love to add a Brisstle Nose Catfish, but would also like a stunning(or as stunning as i can get for my tank) centrepiece fish,

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark.

make sure you have someone that will take the platy and molly fry off your hands if you are getting a mix of male and females - as they both produce a lot of fry every 4-6 weeks
this will fill your tank up quickly and a lot of LFS wont take the fry until they are an inch or more long


you also need more tetras they like groups of at least 6 - black neons and the lemon tetras

Assuming i can get rid of my fry, and i boost the tetras and neons to 7 will i still have room for my catfish and a "centrepice" fish?

Assuming you have good filtration i would say it would be ok to add a "centre piece fish" and a bristlenose.
What were you thinking for the centrepiece fish. I would recommend a dwarf gourami or something not too large.
