I have this new F/W 50 gallon tank of which i have successfully maintained over the last few months. I think about 3 months. I have been wanting to add colorful fishes in the tank but have been successful only in finding cichlids. So currently i have 2 Blue Zebras, 1 electric blue, 1 blue ice, 1 yellow prince, 1 jewel, 2 cichlids that has two horizontal stripes (i forgot the name), 2 white parrot fish, 2 tangerines and 2 double swordtail fish. The swordtails are not cichlids i know but they are more into the tetra families but they blend well with the cichlids and the cichlids don't do them any harm so i think they have been accepted as a part of the cichlid community tank that i have. hehehehehe.
Now i have been looking around at various tanks in the fish shop especially the community tanks. I have noticed that clown loaches have been placed together with cichids. So i'm planning to have them by next month when my money comes out. I know that discuss and angel fishes are part of the cichlid family but have not seen any tanks that has cichlids, discuss and angel fishes. I am planning to experiment on one. Do you think i can place them in accordingly? cichlids, discuss, angel fishes and clown loaches? The fish that i have ranges from 1.5 - 2 inches in length as of now.
and can you suggest any other colorful fish in my tank?
