newaqua Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hello All. Tank Mate Suggestions would be appreciated. I have: 3x Large (5-6 inch) Jurupari 3X Medium Jurupari (2-3 inch) 9x Albino catfish (around an inch) 2x Sterboi catfish (around an inch) 1 Lonely tetra 1 Large, angry Male Angel Fish (All black,looks quite cool) 2 Bristelnose (which breed) 1 Lonely loach. I did have other things such as, eels, another loach, more tetra, 2 discus, and a few (I'm not sure what they are, but they are like 5 for $15 at every fish store, al sorts of colours, and usually not very long). I am not after any of what I have had. I love the eartheaters, but need some colour in the tank, so I would like suggestions for fish that grow around 6-7 inches, and are colourful, but NOT angry. I will not be buying more of or replacing the tetra, loach or Angel fish. I have been suggested Blue Dempsey, does anyone else have any ideas? After something different but cool, would like to get around 4 of them. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It would depend on size of tank , you seem to have the bottom level covered fairly well ,a Nice group of Rainbowfish of one of the larger species would look the part ...

newaqua Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yea, the bottom is covered well, its 200L, but not the average tank, the floor area is massive, its about 1,200 by 700, there is alot of room, and the filter it has is for a 400L tank, plus all the extra sand keep it filtered to a tank that I used to have of about 400L. So Bio strain isnt an issue, and ill stop before it gets to over crowded, as I said im only looking for about 4 or 5 fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Buenos aires tetras grow to a fair size for a tetra, look good and are super fun to feed with insects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 what sort of tetra is it and what sort of loach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newaqua Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Penguin Tetra, and what was sold as a Pakistani Loach, but isnt, not sure what it is, but these will not be being replaced when they die, so Im trying to stay away from tank mates fitting their specifications if you know what I mean, im more focused on the Jurupari.

David R Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I think when the six eartheaters get bigger your stocking level for that size tank will be good. A school of mid level tetras would finish it off nicely, but I wouldn't add more big bottom dwellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
