Stocking Compatability?

[absolutangel04]

No prob. Its probably a good idea in this situation to see what is available first, and then make choices accordingly. It should be an awesome tank though. I love tiny nano fish.

Well I know the Sacarlet Badis is non optional going to happen. Same with the CPOs and RCSs. I love those little stinkers. Probably the sparklers too lol

When I had my hatchets, they weren't very active

 

[GodFan]

Maybe I would be better to skip the kuhlis and have cories instead?

 

[blackmolly]

i would do that. the only thing is that the activitiy level of the cories might scare the badis.

I have pygmies. They hide ALWAYS. No matter what. It stinks.

 

[absolutangel04]

The pygmy corys tend to be pretty shy. Which species do you have?

 

[GodFan]

Pygmeoas (spell check?) Its literally pygmy cory. Not the hasnboras one. I had some back when I had gravel and they died. I wanted more after I switched to sand because I remembered how active and cool they were! Fail...

 

[absolutangel04]

Yeah, the pygmaeus are one of the shyer ones. I have heard mixed reviews about the pygmy cories with badis. Some people have said the cories were too active and it frightened the badis, other people said it was ok. I am not sure about that, but I would think the kuhlis might be a safer option. They certainly have their hyper moments, but its not all the time.

Ok I can do that. I really really like ACTIVE pygmies but these are boring.

Ok what about this:
6x scarlet
5x ghost catfish
6x kuhli
5x sparkler
4 CPO
and the rcs
I know that all these fish have a small bioload right? So would it work compatability wise?

 

[absolutangel04]

The only possible thing t be concerned about is the size of the ghost cats intimidating the badis/sparklers. Other than that, I think its fine. I am not totally sure though. Since the ghost cats are calm/shy, they could be a good choice though, but it will depend on the badis if they are going to cope or hide.

I see. Maybe give them some time before introducing the ghosties and see how it goes? Oh and Ill want otos but otos get along with everything lol

 

[absolutangel04]

Lol, yes they do. The only thing I have ver seen an an oto fight with is a stubborn patch of algae.
Yeah, its sounds good to give them some time to settle in. I do hope it works out for you. I just know that badis have given many a fishkeeper a bit of a headache to try and keep happy. Of course, experience varies. They are certainly cute little guys.

I know! I want them so bad but something has to inhabit the mid part of my tank!

 

[Cpapp13]

Does anyone know what kind of fish these are and if they are compatible with neon tetras and blood tetras

 

[blackmolly]

african cichlids. no... they aren't compatable at all with tetras you post a thread by going to the place you want to post, and hitting the new thread button in the top left corner.
