Planning stock for the 90

When you got the tank already all you can do is fit the fish to the tank. Good luck with the pondering!

For tank mates you'd better look to barbs and not cichlids.

I have mine with cichlids (severums, chanchitos and Bolivian rams), pearl gouramis, rainbows and loaches. I'm not sure what problem you would expect keeping them with cichlids.


I would get farmed fish. My originals were wild caught - before farmed fish hit the market. I paid $25 each for them. I have added a few petsmart fish to the school and I don't know which are which. I don see a need to pay that much, and I certainly won't again. Too, roselines are an endangered species. They may since have been downgraded to threatened... I don't know their exact status at the moment.

I'd expect them to get up the nose of the nastier cichlids and to scare off the timid ones like rams.

Na, they keep to themselves.
