Stock for a 50 gallon? Peaceful tank.

[Louise0328]

I am currently taking my 29 gallon down and replacing it with a 50 gallon. I was wondering what other peaceful fish would go well with the fish I have. I had a very bad ich problem, so i def need to add to the schools. Here is a list.

1 harlequin rasbora
3 neon tetras
4 black skirt tetras
2 endlers livebearers
3 female guppies
1 beta (he may go in a 5 gallon)
2 peppered Cory cats

A total of 16 smallish fish. Any ideas for other tank mates? Maybe a centerpiece fish or something else?

Thanks for the help!

Provided its well planted, with plenty of cover, I'd go with 5 more harlequins, 5 more neons, 2 more black skirts, 4 more male Endler's, 4 more cories, and either a dwarf gourami or a ram, or kribensis. And leave out the betta and female guppies.

I'd add pearl gouramis rather than the dwarf

Thanks guys! I don't really have another tank for the guppies to be housed in. Oh, and I will probably end up putting my beta in my extra 5 gallon tank.

The tank will be heavily planted and as natural as possible.

If I were you this would be my stock,

8 harlequin rasbora
8 neon tetras
8 black skirt tetras
6 endlers livebearers
6 female guppies
8 peppered Cory cats
1 ram cichlid or another center piece fish...

The problem with keeping the female guppies is they will breed with your Endler's and you'll be over run with hybrid fry.
