puppydog Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am putting together my first tropical aquarium. I have done Lots of research on the tank, plants, habitat & fish ect, and I have decided on the following. TANK: 135ltr/36Gallon FISH: 1 x Ancistrus Bristlenose, 5 x Zebra Loach, 5 x Fancy Guppys 6 x Neon Tetra, 6x Longfin Zebra Danio What I would like to know is 1. Will this be a happy community tank? 2. Will it be over stocked? / Do I need a bigger tank? Any opinions on these questions or on any other combinations that I could look at would be much appreciated.

jim r Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think you will be fine just make sure you do regular water changes, enjoy. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 There are a lot of other combinations possible - too numerous to mention - but your list will be fine, as Jim said. I hope you have also read up on how to cycle an aquarium, either using fish or doing it the fishless method. If using fish, I suggest you start with the 6 danios on your list. Does anyone here know if the long fins are as hardy as the short finned variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJeff Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I would be a little concerned that the danios would nip at the guppy's tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterlogged Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 you should replace the guppies or danios with some more tetras, they look awesome when they school together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossPants Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I would be concerned about the guppies with both the danios and loaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
