fish ideas

[aqua man]

i need to know a couple of suggestions for fish to kepp with 4 minorly aggressive gouramis and one aggressive rainbow shark

Is it planted? Maybe some silver dollars.

hold on a asecond... how big is your tank now?

 

[aqua man]

55 gallns and yes it's planted

 

[haykay]

okay phew, just making sure.
Silver dollars are herbivories and vicarious plant eaters, they are also schooling, more skittish and quite large. I have 5 and love them but they are definitely hiders..

You could try it if the plants you keep arn't normally on the diet plan of the silver dollars

What about a school of tetras or rasboras?

They will give your RTBS no trouble on the bottom and should hang out more in the middle zone as to not disturb your gouramis too much...

i have 3 longfin tetra and a sephera tetra in my tank with 2 opal gouramis a 6" Silver dollar and a pleco... pretty peacefull coexistance... now as for the rainbow shark.. dunno how a tetra will fair with them.

 

[aqua man]

i was thinking a couple of rainbow fish maybe?

I got 6 Bosemani Rainbows in my 55G, they are nice fish and very fast, fast enough that I doubt they can be picked on by most fish

I think a school to tetras would be sweet. The rainbow shark would actually scare them so they shaol.
