Top Dwellers

[2ndtimer]

Wondering if I would be able to put 5 male swordtails in my tank. I currently have 5 tiger barbs, 6 algae eaters, 3 clown loach, and 5 electric yellows. The mid to bottom areas have come together nicely, and I am trying to make the top portion more colorful and balanced.....

Electric yellow what? And what sized tank?

Yellow lab and a 90 gal

I am not sure that the yellow labs are completly compatable and will probably eat the swordtails.

Swordtails are too peaceful for that stock. What kind if algae eaters?

CAE...

My experience with Swordtails are that they are not a top dweller, bottom of the tank for me is where they constantly feed.

I'm at a loss right now. Didn't think it would be so difficult to find colorful top dwellers .... Guess I will continue the search until I find something interesting...

They are very interesting... I will need to look around for floating plants first. Thanks for the idea I will give it serious consideration...
