Aquarium Advice Addict
A while back I was going to buy a 75 for my cichlids and use my 55 gal for a community tank. Alas, this plan fell through.
I recently aquired a used 30 gal tank and am in the process of cleaning it up. I'd like to use it for a community tank but I'm not sure if it would be good enough for the fish I'd like to put into it.
Here is the old list (for a 55 gal)
8-12 cardinal tetras
8-12 corys(not sure of type)
8-12 red phantom tetras
1-3 gourami (preferably pearl)
Keep in mind this was originally what I wanted for a 55 and I'm not sure how this would scale down to a 30 gal tank. The dimensions of the tank are 36x12x16.
Can I keep any gouramis in a tank that small? I know dwarfs may work, but I've heard that they can be really aggressive.
