Hey guys! While I am waiting for my tank to cycle (thanks for the info on how to do this ) I am trying to come up with an idea on what little fishies I should have in my 100 litre / 27 gal tank, there is often very confusing or even contradictory advice on different websites so if I just say my favourite fish could you please come up with the best combo.
1. Guppies
2. Platies
3. Swordtails
4. Tiger Barb ~ (have read I would need 6 to stop them nipping fins of other fishies)
5 Killfish either Amiet's Killfish, Steel-blue Aphyosemion, Striped Aphyosemion or Walkers Aphyosemion. I think these are the most stunning fish but I can't find much info on them atall, and I havent seen them in the pet shop, are they suitable or really expensive?
6. Zebra or Coolie Loach
7. Neon or Cardinal Tetra
8. Red-Tailed Black Shark, it says in my book they are quarrelsome if there isn't hiding places, will 1 be OK with lots of ornaments and plants? ~ I wouldn't have chosen this one but my friend who has an aquarium says it would be OK and they are really nice looking fish
9. Glass Catfish, looks so cool!
10. 1 large feature fish like angelfish or discus, probably not possible is it?
I know I can only have a few out of that selection but maybe you could help narrow it down, the problem is every time I go and look at them I fall in love with more hehe the rasbora are really starting to grow on me aswell now , I'm starting to think about larger tanks before I even have my 1st fish
