Hello all. I haven't posted in awhile but I am ready to get some new fish. At one point, I had harlequins, black neons, cory cats, otos, 3 pearl gouramis, a bristlenose pleco, a bamboo shrimp, and tons of red cherry shrimp. As some slowly died off and were replaced, right now I have:
3 harlequins
10 cardinals and neon tetras
3 sterbai cories
1 bristlenose pleco
1 bamboo shrimp
a bunch of red cherry shrimp
When I originally got the 3 pearls, 2 died within the first month and the other one lived 4 years. I definitely want to get a couple large pretty fish again (maybe even pearls are good, or if I could get two different types of large fish that would be cool too), and probably either add more harlequins again or replace that school with something different. I love having the schooling fish like that plus a few other interesting or big fish that stand out. I just trimmed back all the plants and took a recent picture so here is what it looks like now. This is a 50 gallon tank (the 36" x 18" footprint one). Love to hear your thoughts.
