Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Welcome!
We would need to know the other fish in order to give some advice for stocking.
Pics are always welcomed!

Welcome to FishLore!

As Amanda said, it's hard to recommend other fish to add without knowing what the other fish in your tank are.

I general rule of thumb for stocking is 1" of adult size fish per gallon. This guideline is true for small to medium sized fish that are not huge waste producers. For example you wouldn't want 6 Oscars in that tank.

Hi, welcome to Fishlore. Perhaps if you could show us photos of the unknown fish then we could help with stocking plans?

WELCOME TO FISHLORE

If you can't post a picture (there is a howto thingy in the picture section I think...) Could you at least describe them? how big, coloration, anything an employee told you about them... anything that might make them identifiable to us?

Are they all the same kind of fish, or 3 different kinds?

Hi Joe! Welcome welcome welcome to Fishlore.

Maybe check out this link http://www.fishlore.com/freshwaterfish.htm and see if any of those pictures or names ring a bell.

Let us know as soon as you figure out what you have. Lol, as you can see, it usually doesn't take long to get a response. We're all a tad obsessed around here and there's almost always someone online willing to help.
