misnoma Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I must be crazy.. I placed an order for a 4x2x2ft tank last night, which I'll be getting just after the weekend. Now I'm blaming MysticVampire for making me do this, just because it's the thing to do :lol: Thoughts at this stage are to have it planted, with suitable non-plant-munching fish to go with it - bit of a change from the 5ft tank full of insane cichlids So. suggestions would be most welcome - help me fill my tank with fishies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 nothing beats a heavily planted tank with small schooling fish mmmm tetras (other than a reef tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis & Vicki Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 try a heavily planted tank with a puffer you can use the plants as they take over to put in the cichlid tank for a bit of entertainment and variety to their diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 another good idea for the tank is to set it up at my place I do have room for it I think :-? but the idea of blaming Mystic is a good one :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 You started it... Lol :lol: it is so hard to type when you are rolling on the floor trying not to laugh so loud and holding your stomach at the same time because of the cramp. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 If I was going to put discus in this tank (just an idea at the mo).. are there other fish I can put in with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Discus will do best by themselves, but they will do fine with cories and tetras such as glowlights and cardinals. They're quite slow like the discus and the colours make awesome compliments. Avoid plecos/whiptails as they can suck on to the slime on the sides of discus.
