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!

Stocking question
What kind of fish would do good with 3 platys and 3 guppies in a 16 gallon tank?

I'd get 6 kuhli loaches. That would put you at 18" of fish in a 16 gallon, but they are all small fish and the kuhli's are at a different level than the rest so I think it would be perfect. Kuhli's are also great bottom feeders, not to mention cute.

I would do 4-5 cories...IMO kuhli's dont have enough buttom space to roam in a 16g..even if there "inch per gallon" would be fine....swim area might not...
