Hello everyone. I'm new. This is my first post. I haven't set up my tank yet (currently pending a stand) but I have been researching fish like crazy and was wondering what everyone thinks of my possible fish stocking plan. I am open to advice and personal experience with these fish. However, I am not open to non constructive criticism . So here is my idea:
1 red fire gourami
3 hi fin black tetra
6 rummynose tetra
3 cory catfish
6 xray tetra
2 tiger nerite snails
3 german blue rams (after tank is well established)
So a few questions...are any of there fish not compatible? Am I over stocked? Do any of these fish need more of their own kind? And I was looking at the threadfin rainbow. I REALLY like them..however I wasn't sure if any of these fish listed were fin nippers. If any of you think the threadfin will work with these fish then I would need suggestions on what fish to ditch to make room for them. (I am aware with the list of fish the threadfin will not fit in).
My final discussion would be about the red fire gourami. Is this the best type of gourami for the possible tank set up? When I have looked in tanks in the past at stores they all seem to be quite stressed and fighting with one another. If it is difficult...what would be a good gourami solution instead of the red fires?
One more question...sand or gravel?
