36 gallon stocking ideas???

[adammorrill]

i was wondering what you guys think i should put in my 36 gallon bow front. i currently have 2 cherry barbs and a powder blue gourami. i like loaches and schooling fish so what do you think? i am currently planning on maybe getting these fish and the ones with a * are a for sure

3-5 cherry barbs (making a total of 5-7)*
3 clown loaches?
1 dojo loach
another gourami
small schooling fish
GBR
any other ideas? i like weird fish too

I wouldnt get clown loaches for a 36 gallon they get rather large.

Some small plecos bristlenose or L333 or L018 or L081
Shoaling fish personally I love black phantom tetra

Dojo loaches need temperatures in the 60s to lower 70s. GBRs need temperatures around 81-85. You will need to pick only one, although your cherry barbs might not like the extreme conditions that either one prefer.

Clown loaches will need much more space than a 36. Twice that would be a start.

A substitute to clown and dojo loaches are khuli and yo-yo loaches, very cool and stay small.

Could do a mix of rummynosses and bloodfins, nice schooling features. black neons and emperor tetras are really nice too, city's are a nice addition also.
