What would you add?

[TheresaM]

I have an established, planted 16B with an AC50. It currently has the following stock:

2 sparkling gourami
3 otos
12 pygmaeus and habrosus cories
? CPDs

I'm fine with bottom feeders, the CPDs tend to be mid to lower tank...I need something for the upper section. More sparkling gouramis are an option but I was wondering what else I could add. Peaceful, some color would be nice, and definitely something within the size range of the other fish.

Ideas I've had, just not sure about compatibility and numbers:

cherry barbs
thread fin rainbow fish
blue eyed rainbow fish

I would not add any full sized fish to this Nano species tank.

Rocket/Clown Killies are cool. Just need a tight top.

A paradise fish would get much too large and might kill your small fish.

You got quite a lot of fish in there for now. How was your tank testing at the end of the week ?

Blue-eyed Rainbows might work, but again you need to make sure your top does not have any gaps.

My threadfin's were more mid to top level swimmers.

Clowns are definitely an available option and something I'm interested in...how many would you add? Same question with the blue eyes?

Water params are great actually, really enjoying the small fish/heavily planted tank.

Blue Eyes are social. 5-6 ?

Killies ? http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/the-clown-of-killies-epiplatys-annulatus.htm

Make sure they are eating frozen or you'll have to provide live food.

What are CPDs? when using abbreviations like this try to spell out the whole name at least once in the post.

Thanks again, I'm getting 6 of the blue eyes. Never kept rainbow fish before so that's a nice bonus!
