My parents are setting up their old 25 or 30 gallon tank again, and are currently cylcing fishless. (yay, i'm so proud!)

They want to know what are some good, amusing fish they could put together.

I tried giving them some ideas, but they still wanted me to post a question for you guys!

WOOT!! I love fish stock questions! Here' are some ideas:


For color, vibrance, activity, and personality, try:

1)

Tiger Barbs (5)
Cories (3)
Zebra Danios (5)

2)

Black Tetras (5)
Bleeding Heart Tetras (3)
Peppered Cories (3)
Dwarf Gourami (1) >> WATCH OUT FOR THE NEW DISEASE WITH THESE GUYS!!

3)

Harlequin Rasboras (7)
Platy (Any Color Variation) (3 using the one male/two female ratio)
3 Cories of your choice out of: Bronze, Albino, Peppered, Julii, Reticulated, Panda

Any specific species you had in mind?

Cardinal Tetras and Cories make a colourful and interesting tank.

nope, no specific species.
they havn't had fish in a long time,
and the last time they did, the had an odd, but working community.

so.
i think they want an iridescent shark, and i know they want a weather loach.

TFA101

the iridescent shark wont do, they are monsters and will top out any tank that is not the size of one you'd see Shamu performing in.

ID sharks get huge and very nervous when older. We had one who freaked out in our 80g we had at the time.
They could have a pair of some small cichlid, some tetra and otos.
