Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. I hope I put it in the right location. I am currently setting up and cycling my new 60 gallon aquarium (48x12x24) and need some advice on stocking ideas. I currently only have one pictus catfish that will be moved into it so I feel I can take this in multiple directions.
I had some ideas for possible stocks but have heard conflicting opinions on some species. I will put some stocking ideas below and please give me your input.
Idea 1:
1 Pictus
5 giant danios
6 black skirt tetras
3 platys (to brighten it up)
Idea 2:
1 Pictus
4-5 silver dollars (some said it is okay, some said tank is too small)
1 Ctenopoma (A personal favorite)
1 African butterflyfish (if it wouldn't get nipped by silver dollars)
Idea 3:
1 Pictus
5 Giant danios
1 Firemouth cichlid (I heard they were peaceful)
Idea 4:
1 Pictus
6 giant danios
10 tiger barbs
Those were just a few ideas I had, feel free to give opinions and make changes. Thank you
