new fish ideas?

[shellyx]

Looking for any ideas for a new fish for my 55gallon, I have a elephant nose in their with a pearl gourami, Sailfin Molly & glass catfish. Looking for something reasonable size as I,ve had to take some fish back to my lfs as he,d been nipping them. Wanting to build the tank around him in the future. Any ideas would be great

Hi Shelly.


How many of each fish do you have?


Jon

 

[shellyx]

1 pearl, 1 Molly & 4 glass cats.

And 5 cories, thought I,d missed someone out lol

Have you thought about up'ing your numbers a little first?

Glass cats like to be in numbers greater than 5.

You could add a few more pearl gouramis and a few more mollies.

Had 9 glass cats but sadly lost some when we had too move the tank. Didn't think of adding more of these guys might just do that. They're both boys so would I need 3 female's per male?

I'm not going to say that I know about m to f ratios as I don't.

I'm still learning myself.

No problem, thanks for your advice

Glad to have helped.

I tend to get my fish profile information from badmanstropicals website.
