New tank

[Hermieguy]

I'm planning a new 25 gal. Tank. How does these fish sound?
Malabar Dwarf PufferX1
Bala sharkX3
Blood fin tetraX2
Black moors X2
And a few mystery snails

Definite no on the moor and the sharks.

 

[Fishanatic]

Agreed. No bala sharks. Way too small, i would recommend at least 55 gallons for them alone, and they don't do well with social fish also

 

[jlk]

Defnite no on the moors. They are coldwater fish (the others are tropical) and need atleast a 30-40g just for two of them with no other fish.

 

[Hermieguy]

Are there any other small tropical fish you would advise?

 

[farnaby]

Are you familiar with rams?

Bolivian ram (hardier, less fragile than german blue rams):
Cichlid Profiles

German blue rams (possibly fragile):
German Blue Ram - Mikrogeophagus ramirezi

You could then look into the various tetras/rasboras/danios.

Thanks for the ideas!
