Hi all, we have just upgraded our 65ltr starter tank to a new and very stylish Rio 180ltr in gloss white. Its currently going through its cycle and to try and help we have moved over one of the filters from my old tank, about 25% of the substrate, the rocks and live plants leaving my poor fishes wondering whats happened.
Anyway, the new tank is settling in nicely, and once the fish are settled, we are keen to stock our new tank, currently we have the following (all adult sizes)
3 x Silver Dollar Tetras
1 x Golden Gourami
1 x Bristle Nosed Catfish
1 x Kauli Loach
2 x Flying Foxes
2 x Clown Loaches
As you can see we have quite a few bottom feeders there and are keen to add some shoaling fish and also some fresh colour. I'm very keen on Cichlids but was always put off as I was told by an 'expert' that they were difficult to keep with other fish. Could someone please set me right as we're really keen on them...
As for shoaling fish, could anyone give any recommendations??? Would be much appreciated!
In keeping with forum tradition, below is our lovely new tank...
