Stock list for 14 gal - please advise - purple stripe danio?

[siva]

Uh oh..these scarlet badis/dario dario are pretty dang cool! They are selling males only. You have experience with these? Could I add one of these?

 

[fort384]

nope, haven't seen those.

Ok thanks much for your help. I think I'm on the right track to stock this appropriately now

 

[fort384]

Any time!

So this franks aquarium site is awesome. This frank guy is really cool. He's letting me order less of the hasbrosus so I don't have to have them in 2 tanks

 

[Mr.Albiman]

Have you decided what your final stocking is yet? I ask because I'm planning on upgrading my bororas brigatae and RCS to a 15gallon I'm getting for my birthday

Oh you're getting a 15 now instead of the 10? Cool
At this point I'm pretty sure it's going to be 12 boraras brigattae, 5 corydoras hasbrosus, and 4 scarlet badis. I'm ordering thai micro crabs as well so I may add some in here..I won't know until I see them probably.

 

[Mr.Albiman]

yeah, mum splashed out on me
cool, sounds awesome!
i think i'm gonna get 8 b. brigattae and 6 pygmy cories. not sure about the rest though:/
good luck

My little fishies came in yesterday I desperately wish I would have ordered more hasbrosus. I only ordered 5 and lost 2 and think I will lose another. They are SO tiny, it's freaking adorable. All the fish are tiny. I mean, wow. So I have 3 hasbrosus, 11 brigittae, 3 dario dario, and 11 thai micro crabs and it almost looks like there's no fish in there! I swear I could have easily done 8-10 hasbrosus, 20 brigittae, and 5 dario dario without overstocking the tank. It's crazy!

. Now you see what I was talking about. Take pics when you get a chance!

I don't think I can capture fish this small! I'll try. I have a ridiculous camera. I need to put some money into a new camera instead of fish for once lol
