Fishy monkey
Aquarium Advice Activist
I decided my stocklist months ago, after lots of research and asking on here. Since then I've had fish die cos of my inexperience, had to rehome some and now I'm finding all sorts of things wrong with the compatibility of almost every fish I google.
My tank is a 165 litre (43 us gallons) bowfront. Original stocklist was-
7 x pearl danios
10 x harlequin rasboras
6 x Congo tetra
5 x dwarf rainbowfish
1 x kribensis
5 x Panda cory
I currently have 7 congo tetras and a bn pleco.
The pandas all died one by one after water changes, they're too sensitive for me. The danios chomped at my congos killing one and had to be rehomed.
I've spent the morning googling and researching, seems that every fish is incompatible in some way with my current stock (which is also questionable!). Apparently the rasboras are too small and my congos will eat them, I was going to get a pair of peacock gobies but apparently they're fin nippers, the krib will probably be too territorial, and the congos may well be too big for my tank so I don't know whether I should add anything at all!
I'd really love some help and guidance with this, choosing fish used to be fun, now it's a minefield!
