AquaVitamins Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hey, I want to finally get some fish for my cycled tank. ( have used 4 platys to cycle) :bounce: Here is my tank: (its a oldish photo) But its 60L, i has DIY Co2, 24W light, cycled water and gravel substrate. What would be some cool fish to keep? like combos (Clean fish, color, interesting etc.. ) Also i live in Wellington so local fish would be best Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochelleMay Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yeha we have gouramis and they dont mind at all. They are very placid... Although ours are lace gouramis and are fully grown so maybe a bit big for your tank - but dwarfe gouramis and honey gouramis are very cool and a reasonable sizing for your tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 the threadfins are really small, so when you see them, you will automatically be inclined to get more than you had originally intended to. the neon blues are more expensive, but look really nice in groups of 5-6 or more.

Im quite keen for a school of those threadfins. Where would you recommend buying them? And when you say that they are really small, does that mean it would be ok to buy more than i intended?

phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think a dozen of the threadfins will be OK in a tank that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billaney Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 From memory of buying mine about $15 -$18 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 not 100% sure but around the $8-10 mark I think. like most things, cheaper in some places than others, so i recommend shopping around before you buy. also ask to see if any one on here, breeds them locally.
