Re stocking

I have a 36 gallon tank, planted. The current stock is 2 cories. Do you think I could add more fish?

J?K

Any ideas for fun fish? I am not coming up with anything myself right now.

[bluebluecow]

what dimensions is it ? No good at gallons lol, maybe a siamese male. or some neons, or platys or guppys. I like the long fined white minows cant find any in my lfs, and dont have a tank for them

My mum also ahs some long fined bristle noses and they are nice

I would get a large school of rasboras,a pair of GBRs,and more of the same cories!

That is a thought. I miss my rams. I was thinking some kind of dwarf cichlid my water is soft.

How about Keyholes or Smiling Acara for starters?

get 8 more corys
12-15 neons
5-6 otos
a pair of rams

what filteration do you have

[rich311k]

All good ideas.

It is a 36 gallon bow front, 130 watts of CF lighting, densely planted. The filter is a XP2. It is 30 X 18 X (12 to 18) in the center.

Personally I would get a pair of Festivums....very under-rated american cichlid. Extremely graceful fish that given the right tank will really become quite the show piece. I would get a good floating plant for the tank to give the fish some shady spots, and unlike alot of american cichlids out there Festivums are perfectly suited to the planted aquarium. I would then get your cory numbers up to a nice 5-6....and for a complementary shoal 8 marbeled hatchets would make for a lovely addition. Your corydoras will inhabit the bottom, festivum pair in the center and the hatchets will be at the top of the tank.

That is a great idea. I always wanted to try Festivums, no hatchets though I have to many openings on my tank.

I have a nice dense cover of duckweed, kind of like my own turtle food farm.

I think the Doctors carry them too. Very interesting idea.

Killer's suggestions usually are great! thumbs2:

If not hatchets then how about some Penguin tetras...another sort of forgotten aquarium fish, which if kept in the right conditions really do have a certain attractiveness to them. Diamond tetras may also be another good canditate :11:
