What kind...

[Jezah]

Hrm. My 30g is a little understocked and I was thinking about adding some more fish. Any suggestions? I already have 1 silver molly, 1 blue platy, 1 red wag, 2 BABY dalmation mollies, 4 danios(asst types), 1 Bumblebee goby and 2 snails.

Well you've got alot of choices....but what sort do you want? Shoaling fish? Particulary colourful fish? Big fish? Smaller fish? Or don't you mind?

More gobies(like 2)! They will enjoy the company of each other. But did you know, they're a brackish fish?

I thought the tank was brackish. I believe mollies like a little salt too, don't they?
Anyways, if it isn't why not something like some Rams. Or two little Angelfish?

Get rid of the snails and you could go full brackish with the bumblebees otherwise they'll eventually die. Snails can't survive in brackish water either.

I would think it is freshwater because of the snails and there's a freshwater (several in fact) species of bumblebee goby. More gobies are a good idea. What sort of fish are you after? Have you considered gouramies ?

 

[Teelie]

None are truly freshwater that I've seen. They might survive for a few months to a year or so but most seem to need brackish water after a certain amount of time. I've wanted to get Bumblbees for some time but I've never found a wholly freshwater species. Everything I read is a contradiction on someone else and from reliable sites and not just fansites on angelfire.

i could be wrong but dont all livebearers like salt? i would go with some more platies or mollies and angel fish would look great too marble angels are my favorite!

Angels only if you keep it fresh....no salt for them.

My water has a large amount of salt in it...eek, my snails will die? I didnt know that! My tank is semi-brackish, and my goby loves it. I like gouramis but i was looking for a more active like fish. Unfortunatly gouramis kinda just hang, I know, I had a pair of blue's for 5 years. My store locally only sells Bumblebee gobys, which does stink cause I love gobys. They have saltwater gobys and thats it.

angel fish are very active so are guppies when it comes to feeding time

 

[corykitty516]

I have dwarf gouramis (2 males) in a 55 gallon. They dont hang around each other (or fight for that matter) but they are pretty darn active. They are also quite colorful. Maybe get just one? I dont know what level of salt they tolerate though.

 

[Jezah]

I think gourais are quite tolerant of salt, and I would love angelfish but wont they bug my other fish?

 

[sylvia]

Angels would only be a problem if you have long-finned, nippy or very small fish.

 

[Jezah]

My bumblebee is only around an inch and a half. Would the angel try and kill him? I was thinking maybe I will get some tetras instead, as they seem quite active all the time and flashy. I cant get angelfish and tetras unfortunatly
