What Fish?

[chr15_8]

hi all.

im going to be setting up a 15 uk gallon planted tank soon (about 65 litres)

the tank will be filterd by a tetratec ex700. the tank is 25x12x14 icnh tank (inside dimensions)

the fish im thinking of putting in will be
6 Galaxy Rasbora's (celestrial pearl danio's), 8 Green neon tetras, 3-4 oto's, 5+ Amano shrimps, 5 Kuhli Loaches

so i just need 1 or 2 fish to fill the tank out and be the main focal fish.

i was thinking of pair/trio of gourami's but not sure if the tank big enough?

any other ideas of fish i could put in?

thanks
chris

That's already overstocked I'm afraid so you don't have room for a centre piece fish. I would advise:

5 Galaxy Rasbora
6 Green Tetra
3-4 Amano Shrimp
5 Otos

Then one small gourami as a centrepiece. A honey gourami would be nice.

I would leave out the kuhli loaches, you would hardly ever see them so they would be a bit of a waste of bioload. Then I would go with a pair of rams.

the filter is way overrated for the tank (will do a tank well over 2-4 times its size). i currenty have the 6 galaxy rasbora's from my breeding tank, i have the kuhli loaches already from my old 45 gallon planted tank (now a mbuna tank)

i know i asked for advice but the tetra's and the galaxy dont produce much waste at all.

rams i did think about but there something about them im not to keen one. the only one i really like is the german ram i think its called

thanks
