davidb Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 What you have sounds enough for a 40L tank. Bristlenoses grow quite big. Why not get a few more neons or if you want some variation perhaps some glowlight tetras. I have always liked the look of a mixed tank of glowlights and Neons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpidersWeb Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 its one of the bristlnoses that doesnt get more than cuple inches at most.. I'd say you have a common bristlenose, they grow to 6 inches (~15cm) but often stop at around 10-12cm depending on how they're fed. Shouldn't be a problem in a 40L, just make sure you have a small piece of wood in with him (part of their diet). Guppies might be worth a try too, paticularly if you get some fancy types. There are some amazing colours out there, just gotta find'em. If you want more fish, I'd be inclined to recommend a new tank :lol: and so it begins.......... I reckon the next step is a 150L 3 footer. Can do lots with those and they're not too big to be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
