Aquarium Advice Newbie
After several months of success with a 10 gallon tank I'm moving up to a 75 gallon tank. I wanted to get peoples comments on my stocking list.
I'm mainly interested in smaller schooling fish and sticking with hardy species that will give me the best chance for success.
10 -12 Longfin Zebra Danios (Currently have some in the 10g. Can't wait to see what they are like when they have more room to swim.
10 - 12 Harlequin Rasboras
10 - 12 Barbs (Not sure what type yet, possibly Cherry, Black Ruby or Panda. Somewhat dependent on what the LFS carries)
For some action at the bottom of the tank I am thinking of 6 or loaches. I would like to stay with the smaller types; Angelicus, Dwarf or Zebra loaches. I would appreciate feedback from the loach experts out there.
Also, do loaches get along with snails & shrimp? Thinking that I might add either of those once the tank is established but not sure if the loaches would give them problems.
I would appreciate any feedback I get.
Particulars
75g tank 48x18x20
Penn-Plax Cascade 1500 canister filter (along with sponge and floss filter media I added a tray of Matrix and a tray of Purigen)
Hydor 300W In-line heater
Low Light/Low Tech Plants - Eco-Complete substrate
