My 36g bow front

What do you guys think? So far I have three boesemani rainbowfish, a killifish, African dwarf frog, ghost shrimp, and a clown. I also have bamboo, Java moss, and a Lily pad!

FYI I have a bigger tank for the clown when it gets too big

Here it is

The bamboo isnt going to last. I put a piece in my tank and it lasted only a couple months. The leaves have to be out of the water for it to live. You really should have at least 3 clowns, the more the better. You have room for alot more too, what's you plan on the stocking in the future.

I plan on getting a Sumo loach, and some threadfin rainbows, one German blue Ram and one gold. How does that sound?

 

[rreekers]

your tank looks very nice

 

[Tipton34]

Do yall have any opinions on the future stock?

 

[calfishguy]

Boesmani rainbows should be kept in a tank that is at lest 4 feet long and they should be in schools of at least 6. They will never gain much color if they are not in schools and in tanks that are too small. I recommend a 55 for the rainbows.

I had them before and they were gorgeous! The ones in there now are young but are already showing color

 

[calfishguy]

You decision that is just what I think they should be kept in do you have dark colored gravel

 

[Tipton34]

Yes I have black sand, this really makes them look amazing!!

 

[calfishguy]

That would be the reason why they can be in non recommended aquariums and still be very colorful.

 

[Tipton34]

Thats true, i have a powerhead in my tank and this seems to really help. they just sit in the current instead of swimming back and forth

 

[calfishguy]

that makes sense I plan on getting six for my 55 with my angels.

 

[Tipton34]

I just ordered my golden and blue ram, they are going to really look good!

 

[calfishguy]

good luck.
