Need some help please

Hi we have a 260 litre tank which currently has 11 rummy nose tetras 1 platy 1 ruby shark and 1 plec. We are looking to get some new fish to go with them. Could anyone advise us on some colourful compatible tank mates please and thanks

German blue rams are nice. Almost any tetra will work with rummys. Gouramis..

What size fish are you looking for, more small or larger centre piece fish?

Ruby or (rainbow sharks) can get pretty aggressive as the age so just keep that in mind. It will torment Rams. That said, it completely depends on the specific fish, mine is very tolerate of the other fish in the tank but can hold his own when he needs to.
How long have you had your tank and how old are the fish??

We are looking for smallish fish maybe the size of the platy. We have had the the platy the rummys and the plec for about a year and the shark for 6 months. The shark seems pretty aggressive already as its always chasing the platy and the tank is a few month old

hmmm ok. Well, depending on what type of Pleco you have, you may need to re-home them later on, Plecos get enormous! As for tankmates, you have quite the mix already. I'm having trouble thinking of compatible mates..maybe a Molly, more Platys, Harlequin Rasbora shoal?
