What to add first

[T00thless]

Hi Guys,

New to this forum, but hoping someone will be able to help. I am currently cycling my new 36g bowfront, it is fully planted, and I would like to add the following fish:
3 x Turquoise Rainbowfish
1 x Pearl Gourami
1 x Pictus Catfish
1 x Anglefish

Once the tank has cycled which fish is best added first?

I would add the rainbows first then add the pearl gourami and angelfish at the same time. And I wouldn't put a pictus cat in that size tank. I think they need a bigger tank and I think they prefer to be in groups of three or more. I could be wrong though! !

Very good advice here. Instead of pictus, I think some Cory cats would be good if you're looking for a bottom feeder.

Okay change direction

Went to one of our LFS today as recommended by a friend. They have Electric Blue Rams, which are very enticing, only problem I can't find out much about them. Yes they are a cross of the German, but I am trying to find out what fish are compatible with them. I am reading all sorts of information, but I am getting mixed messages rgarding, water temp. ph, etc. any ideas?
