Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 hi i just got a new tank do you know the best fish to keep in it :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 That would depend on how big is your tank , How many litres does it hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 40 liters don't no how big but its a jebo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsweet Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 also depends on what you like too. I have a 30ltr in my sons room and have put 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows in it... easy to look after, cold water (no heating) small fish (so you can have more) And i put them in the outside tub in the summer for them to multiply. It pays to look around and decide on what you want and can afford. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 My tank has a heater, i have neons in there but want to add others.Can I add a loach?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 You could add platys. They're colourful, active, hardy and breed really easy. Also some corys and a BN for cleaning and some khulie loaches (the best loach in the world ) and what about a male siamese fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Wait until the tank has been running for at least 6 months before you add a loach. This means they will have stuff to graze on as they move about. They like a tank that has been running a while. Any of the small fish would suit your tank. Have you thought about the smaller species of danios, tetras and barbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 about the male fighter do you think they mix with neons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yes but not with other so called "community" fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 what fish do you have with a fighter fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 When I had him in there (he's old now so he's in a tank where he doesn't have to compete for food) I had blue rams, gold rams, neons, glowlights (another great fish that schools with neons), platys, khulie loaches, BNs, corys, a female fighter and black widows. I'm sure I missed something out but I'll add it up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 thanks for the help but did the fighter hurt the neons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 No. I don't think mine can (but some are really aggro and will try). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonkid Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 ok better not mix them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I would if you want to have a male fighter. Most aren't aggro and if they are it's mainly to other fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debza Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 what fish do you have with a fighter fish I have a female and male Siamese fighting fish in with Guppies in my 40 litre tank. They all get on well. I brought an ornament car for my boy when he wants time out. He tries to entice his girlfriend in for a *ride* Looks so funny. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Debza...just curious to know how your male & female fighter get along. From everything I've read it recommends never having one of each???? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
