I love large, unusual or predatory fish and any combination of the 3.

My current favourites are peacock bass (ok they are Cichlids but they are quite different from the usual ones) but i also love big predatory Characins, catfish, stingrays and arowana's just to name a few.

Ah! CFC: what would you keep in a 6 UKgal?

thanks for all the replys ever1, i really like corsy but i was told tank is to small! (my lfs dont sell pygmys)

...skunks will be ok wont they, or shwartzs? (they both grow 2inch, dont they?)
so wat could i have instead of nippy tetras, i was thinking harlequins but on a webstite it says there delicate and grow 2inches, any other suggestions will be more than appreciated!

My favorite community fish... I'd have to say my Ctenopoma acutirostre, they haven't caused any problems for me and get along with pretty much anything

The fish I consider to be 'community' would eat an average sized community

 

[pieman]

Just curious, which type of flowers are you on about freshwater or brackish? Would they have to be kept in a tropical tank?

 

[jollysue]

CFC's answer was funny because it was unexpected, but in character for a monster keeper. I have lots of small tanks because I have bettas.

We do start somewhere. I started with bowls of goldie saves. Then I got a 12 usg.

 

[ajbettle]

ok bit of an overeaction,

but if i kept corys i wud be well overstocked, look:

- 3 corys (say 2 inch each) = 6nches
- 4 head n tails = 6 inches
- thats 12 inches and well overstocked allready
can anyone help?

 

[jollysue]

Hi Dwarfs! Bye All. I gotta go to bed. Yes skunks stay under 2". I don't have Schwartzi. I have a small cory tank in a 20 usg. There are more than 20 cories in there and a small Betta boy. It's been up for about 6 months with that stocking. No sickness or deaths. Don't do pygmies=difficult.

 

[ajbettle]

kwik b4 u go sue, wont i be overstockign then?
with:
2 or 3 corys,
4 h n t lights
n someing else?

 

[jollysue]

I would start with just a few fish of one species in that size tank. Add a little at a time. You decide where to start. But three even 5 cories can be in a 7 ukg, I believe. But I would ask in the Cory forum first. If you start small and add a little at a time, you will do well.

 

[Dwarfs]

I think those fish could fit, of course I am prone to over stocking

If you maintain the tank well, and have fairly good filtration, you should be fine with only 3 cories and some HT light tetras. I doubt you could fit much else though
