Time to buy fish soon, and today's thought is 29 gallons of Danios.
My original plan was based one one from a book, which suggested 5 schools of 6 fish each, one of which was Danios. I liked them least but as I research more I'm liking them best.
I also have completely fallen in love with Celestial Pearl and Burmese Gold Ring Danios. I realize they are TINY for my tank but I think in a number of ways it would work, visually:
- The tank is in a place where it's viewed up close
- I'd have large numbers of each
- The tank and the room are simple and neutral (black, cream, some browns) so tiny bits of color really stand out a lot.
- Without other types of fish, the subtle differences between the danios would stand out more significantly.
What do you all recommend? Hardy schoolers, no glofish, several that are quite quite similar so those tiny markings that are different will be exaggerated?
And would I be asking for a lot of extra gravel vacuuming if I don't keep some pygmy cories in there? I do like them too just wonder if they'd be really out of place.
