fievels007 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi, I have the fish as listed below in my 60l tank. I've just had a big clean out of plants that were getting out of control, there is now more space in the tank and the fish are all scooting about very happy with their water change! I'm now looking at it wandering what do do with the tank next. Anyone got any ideas? Wouldn't mind beginning to breed some babies... maybe some bristlenoses, just not sure about the room available in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookie Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 otos need to be the only algae eaters in tank tank imo , they always seem to be hungry , and need to be in an established tank with lots of food (algae) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 As your fish seem pretty happy and settled in their current tank, you dont want to mess with it too much. Sounds like time to get another tank :lol: Thats how it begins... But if you want to get into breeding fish you really need to get another tank set up, breeding in a community tank is usually a problem. Even if you can persuade them to breed, the fry will most likely get eaten. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fievels007 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 We only have a small flat, not really enough room for another tank... nor will the bank balance allow for it! There is room in the tank for more fish, is there not? I want something really really cute and colourful in there as most of the fish in there are there simply to get a job done...ie, eat snails and algae!

Fluffypants Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Siamese fighters....our two females have heaps of personality. Our tank is 65L and we have 2 bristlenoses, 9 cardinal tetras, 7 long fin blue danios (very active), 2 siamese algae eaters and the bettas. I like the mix and the fish all get along. The danios were the last to go in and really made a difference to the appearance of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazza404 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'd go with some fighters too (esp crown tails - see below pic for idea ) nice colours and look cool when they flare up also some nice pure colours like red etc. Blue rams are cool aswell really attractive but can fin nip on long finned fish and if pair and breed can be territorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fievels007 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Is there any chance the siamese algae eaters will nip at the tails of siamese fighters? (I'll be getting a siamese cat soon!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffypants Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Our SAEs don't seem to bother the bettas. I thought the SAEs were quite boring to look at at first and bought them solely as a functional fish to clean the algae. Now I love to watch them as they work as they almost seem excited to be cleaning. Weird but cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Dwarf gourami Good mid to top tank fish, and amusing when they squirt for food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 If you're after colour and action get some male guppies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fievels007 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Went to get a Siamese Fighter on the weekend, but the only ones they had were round tailed ones... I wanted the full beautiful tail! Couldn't help but fall in love with a couple off little fish that I had to buy. When I got home I looked back on here only to see that the Blue Rams I had bought were a suggestion on this post! They are so cool. They really look as cool as marine fish! Excited about the fact that they have breeding potential too. All the fish in the tank are very happy with their new tank mates. The more fish we add the happier the other inhabitants seem to get. We also bought a magnetic window cleaner too... what a genius invention! Now I just have to wait for the algae to grow again so I can use it! The dwarf gourami pictured above looks fabulous! Will have to hunt those out at some stage in the future, as well a bettas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
