Want more fish

Well, touching all the wood I can get my hands on, I think my tank is ready for a few more fish. Anyone any ideas about what I should get - tank and current fish in my siggy. I'd like soem peaceful fish, that will get on with the others, perhaps some bottomdwellers too.

Thanks

How about a trio of Pearl Gouramis? They're a beautiful, peaceful fish and you just need a minimum of 1M to 2F to keep them happy.

How do you tell the difference in them Mary?

Well that's a female as you can see she has a short dorsal fin and pale throat. As you can see below, the male has a much longer dorsal fin and orange throat and when fully grown as this one is, it has lovely filamentous extensions from the anal fin.

Thanks Mary

Easy when you know how... :lol:

A pair of Kribensis would be nice as you dont have too many other fish nice colours

Yes kribs would be my suggestion too. As long as they have a cave or 2 to retreat to, you wont have any aggression issues :lol:

Wow! I was going to say Kribs to! Or rams OR other dwarf cichlids (not together )

The Cichlid brigade are ganging up on me...

But you have rams!!

And an Angelfish.

But I only added them towards the end of my tank stocking - I wouldn't consider Rams suitable for a newly setup tank as they're sensitive to water chemistry.

These grow up to about 5" apparently, so I am not sure if I have enough space - have a look at my sig and let me know what you think?

The link says they need to be kept in 55 gallon so I think my tank is too small?

Any other suggestions?


Hey!!!! Just figured out how to do the quote thing

I've just asked a question about what fish to get too Guppy .

have you considered a BN. I love the one I have and want to know if I can get a second!

BNs are great! You probably can in that tank tardis

I reckon so - the fish you have in there atm are quite small so I think you'd have the room for the Pearl Gouramis plus a BN if you want one. But that would probably be it then.

That would make quite a good mix actually

I quite like the sound of that mix. A trip to the lfs at the weekend might be called for

Thanks everyone!

Glad to be of help.

Don't forget the pics
