Hi I am planning on acquiring a 40g gallon long planted tank. I have done loads of research and fell in love with pictus catfish and rope fish. I have considered cichlids however a year ago a yellow lab killed all my fish. I would like to get at least 1 small schooling fish, 1; 4-5 inch fish and something to go at the top. So my stocking ideas are:
Pictus catfish
x2 - already have 2 they were the only ones left at the store
Ropefish
x1- depending how the tank is stocked i may get 2 but there expensive were i live
X1-African butterfly fish
Long finned Serpae tetra
X5-concerned they will nip the butter fly fish’s fins can be changed
Rummy nose tetra
X5- instead of Serpaes but concerned Pictus and Rope will a snack out of them
Chocolate Gourami
X1 -not hell bent on this on
True Siamese algae eater
X1- already have one but i can give it away to make room
Yoyo loach
X1-Ii had 2 but one went missing and i never found it
Redline torpedo barbs
X4- there expensive where i live but concerned they are to fragile
Odesa barbs
X5-Instead of serapes
Pearl Gourami
X1
This list is still subject to change and obviously will not have all these fish but there are some which I really want to get thank you in advance for and thoughts and suggestions.
