What Would You Add

[RCShevalier]

I have a fifty gallon currently stocked with the following fish:

3 Swordtails
6 Black Neon Tetras
1 Dwarf Gourami
1 L144 Pleco
1 Albino Bristlenose Pleco

I'm wondering if you owned this aquarium what fish you would add to the mix.

Thanks.

fish

I would put 6 cory cats of any kind, an angelfish, a school of 8 neon tetras and some guppys to add color to the top of the tank.

Personally i would swap neons for cardinals, skip the guppies and go endlers, and keep the corys.

Thanks for the input. Anyone else?

A big school of angelicus loaches! Maybe 8 of them? They need a minimum of 5

Me personally, I love my rummy nose tetras and they stick together great. And I'm really looking forward to getting 8 panda corries as well. So those would be my picks. I also like having a male guppy with nice colours, but no females for this guy lol been there, done that

I'd add about ten more black neons, a Bolivian ram pair, and a nice shoal of sterbai cories

I'm gonna also agree with this. A large group of schooling fish is much nicer to watch than a couple small groups! Even bringing my tetra group from 6 to 10 made a very nice tank and they all group together great

I'm going to heed the advice given and increase my black tetra count to either ten or eleven. I have to agree that I think it would be nicer.

I'm also hoping to get a few cories. I saw some corydoras sterbai that I liked at the LFS, but didn't want to pay $11.99 per cory. I will wait till I see a species that I like with a better price.

I am also intrigued by going the bolivian ram route. I've never owned these fish but they do look quite nice. Unfortunately I never see them at the LFS and would probably have to make a trip into the city (not a huge deal).

I'm also considering getting one or two angelfish. If I did this I wouldn't go for the rams. I think angels are quite nice looking and I am kind of wanting a larger fish to be a centerpiece to the aquarium.

Be careful with Angel fish. They are semi aggressive but.. Their beautiful fins will go buy buy with some tank mates

Angelfish are natural predators of neon tetras. Just a tidbit

Very true.. small neons are food for an Angel fish

The black neons are bigger... I saw them at my local pet smart... I like em. You should be fine with them. Angel could bully...
