Hi! Well, I've only had this one running for about 2months and I'm already restocking!
Next month I'm gaining a 70L and a 220L so I'm going to be shuffling my fish a bit.
In this tank I want to keep my Cherry Barbs (currently 8, going to bump to 12) and I'm wondering what to stock it with apart from them. They're making my stocking very hard because they're cheeky! It's a dark tank, so I want fish that "stand out" a little.
Current definites are
12x Cherry barbs
4x Albino cory cats
So ultimate stocking list is looking like...
12x Cherry barbs,
4x Albino cory cats,
1x gourami (probably dwarf, maybe kissing?)
8x neon dwarf rainbowfish.
Possibilities for last fishies.
6x rosy or ruby barbs (or chili? my LFS has them and swears they're not rosy. Look more red. Should ask for scientific name sometime...) I do like these fish but I'm worried about tank colouring ;P So I would prefer one of the other 2.
or
6x blue rams
or
10x blue tetras
I'm very curious about blue rams though. How would they go with my cherries? They're cheeky ones, they hide a fair bit and like to play chase.
So post your opinions and any suggestions for other fish options
Much appreciated guys!
