What To Go For?

J4G3D · Jan 30, 2011

Ok i want to stock my tank abit more maybe another 2 fish but i dont know what to go for. I want something striking ideally. Ive looked into SILVER DOLLAR, DISCUS, GOURAMI, KISSING GOURAMI but i dont think there compatible with my tetras(See my sig)

Ive also looked into dwarf gourami but i havnt successfully kept these before they tend to die pretty quickly so i dont think i want to go for them again. Also looked into electric blue rams and gardneri killifish but there kinda small and wanted something bigger as i want something striking as in colour and size.

Any recomendations?

Your angel should be in a school and may predate on your cardinal tetras as tetras are its natural food when larger.

Its fine, got the angel when he was a juvi along with the tetras. Tetras are 2 inches now and angel about 3 inches body size. Ive read angels are best kept on there own or groups of 4. Had 2 other angels in the past and they all picked on each other. So id rather keep him on his own.

Any input on my original question?

Blue german rams would go well

Non of those fish are suitable in your tank apart from 'Gourami' Depending on the species you should be able to keep a pair of gourami. I suggest something like Pearl Gouramis or Moonlight Gouramis

The gouramis you mentioned are kinda dull.

What about parkinsons rainbow fish, dwarf neon blue rainbow, Boesemani Rainbowfish, 3 spot gourami, lake katubu rainbowfish?

I have boesemani rainbows. They are nice, and quite fast. I don't have Angels or tetras so I don't know how they would compete for food. You'll need at least 6. They are not cheap when you get 6. I paid £30 for my 6.
