[ocean_baby]

currently contains: 6 platys
4 peppered cories
2 kribs
1 ram
1 yoyo loach
2 drift wood and some plants.
what else should I add....thoughts?

i'd add 4 rosy barbs because i like them.

If you have lots of plants and lots of hiding spaces the platys will stock the tank for you

I think that you would like an Elephantnose fish. They are a really cool fish. Do a little research.

Try 6 rosy barbs...I just got some for my uncles tank and their extremely active and have character.

Though if it was my tank I would add 6 rosy red minnows, if you buy them as feeder fish (extremely cheap) be sure to quarantine them .

lol my krebs and ram loves to eat frys, they are their only food source beside catfish food tablets.

 

[mommyof2bettas]

cat food tablets? Do you mean you are feeding them cat food???

srry I mean catfish food

I would add a group of shoaling fish.

3 more Yo-Yo Loaches

And maybe more cories.

My ideas: pearl gouramis, honey or honey gold gouramis, an dwarf gourami, an angel, a school of harlequin rasobaras ( 8 or 10 of them), rubber lip pleco, otos, or cherry barbs.

within the bounds of reasonable stocking, of course.

I like the idea of an angel, will it fight with male kreb?

I think you'd benifit by adding a few more corries, and some more rams... Angles r pretty peaceful unless they're breeding (like most fish they get agressive then), they shouldn't fight with the kribs...

My pair of krebs are too agressive to my male ram, would adding 1 more ram upper the agreesivness...
