Can I add anything to my tank??

[barterking85]

2 blue rams
6 Congo tetras
6 High Speed (Serpae) tetras
6 Cardinals
3 Platties

Should i add to any of the schools or are they good numbers do i have room for more????

 

[mommytron]

how big is the tank?

 

[barterking85]

sorry 30 gallon

 

[mommytron]

i would not add any more fish to the tank

 

[gkuzel]

well, what kind of filtration do you have?

 

[barterking85]

100 gallon power filter lol

 

[gkuzel]

Well, with that filter, I'd say you could add something small like a shoal of cories (IMO)

 

[barterking85]

cool any other ideas welcome cause it wont be tomorrow or anything

 

[Rosenweiss]

Maybe a single neon dwarf gourami?

 

[gkuzel]

Or a honey gourami. Depending how feisty your serpaes are, you could add a hing male betta as a centerpiece.

 

[barterking85]

cool is that a special a hing betta cause i have 4 regular now?

 

[Bettababe1011]

I think she meant king. It's a bigger Betta. Google king bettas.

 

[gkuzel]

haha, Indeed I did. typo, my bad =] You could try putting one in, but I find that the kings do better in community tank. They're less 'emotional' and they tend to not be as nasty.

There's a picture of mine. =]

 

[barterking85]

ok maybe i will pick between a king betta or a neon dwarf gourami but still open to ideas like another small school maybe? as I dont want to steal the show from the blue rams i want them as my center peice and i dont really like corries thanks but i like color in this tank

 

[Rosenweiss]

have you considered harlequin rasboras?

 

[barterking85]

very cool i like them alot how many of those could i get without the king betta or a neon dwarf gourami?

 

[Rosenweiss]

Probably about 6. =] I wouldn't do less than that.

 

[barterking85]

ok so
2 blue rams
6 Congo tetras
6 High Speed (Serpae) tetras
6 Cardinals
3 Platties
6 harlequin rasboras
and that is it

 

[mommytron]

i personally think that's overstocked. i understand your filter can handle it but that sounds like it'd get a little cramped. JMO

 

[Rosenweiss]

One moment, let me think over that and ask aq. XD
