Guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi guys, I've just set up my tank and want some ideas of what fish to put in it, at the moment it has 2 Blue Rams, 2 Gold Rams, 2 Black Widows, 4 Khulie Loaches, 1 BN, a trio of Dwarf Cockatoo Cichlids (that won't be in the tank much as I want to breed them in another tank) and a couple of Cory-Doras. I just want to know a few fish that are colourful and are peaceful. Any suggestions apperciated as I can't think of anything. Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I don't want anything that gets to big I really want something that gets to 7cm at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 rams? other apistogrammas like borelli or panduro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 What sort of apistos do you breed Slightly Blue Dalmation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Get more Cory's, they're happier in larger groups. 4 or more is good for them. Then get some Keyhole Cichlids. Great fish. I would suggest something energetic, colourful and small that shoals. Harlequin Rasboras are great fun - they race around the tank all day and look great in a group of ten or more. Then go get more Keyhole Cichlids. And more..... Keyholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 at the moment only cockatoos but getting hold of some borelli and panduro, then hopefully some other species when i get more tanks there are a few people fith nice apistos in well if you ask round, thats where i got my cockatoos sent from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm looking for some Dwarf Cockatoo Cichlids but can't find any but will keep looking.I forgot about other apistos. I like the look of the panduros. What other fish do people think will look good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarBoy Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Cam do u have clown loaches if not u should get some as they take years to grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I just sold my clown loaches as they tripled in size after 6 months and they didn't eat the snails (which is why I got them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilknieval69 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 cam you should get some madagascar rainbows..... there a giant danio hutt pets have some they grow 2 25cm long Just letting you know that giant danios do not grow to 25cm, they grow to about 5. Rainbows are nice fish though, but do need space to swim (ie a biggish tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon1990 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Either get rid of the Black Widows or get some more as they really like to be in schools of 6 or more,Get a friend of the opposite gender for your BN, more corys and for another colourful fish options there are Dwarf Neon Rainbows, Honey Dwarf Gouramis, Siamese Fighters, Livebearers, EMperor tetras.

Guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks oscarboy not sure if thats what I'm looking for. Dixon1990 I can put another BN in but I'm not sure what sex it'll be. I did have 6 black widows so i got rid of 4 and now the 2 i have are best buddies. I had live bearers so don't really want them and I'll get another couple of cories.
