Need some fish friends

[Fibsog]

Zebra danios are my favorites in the tank. They are small and really quick. They seem to get along great in my tank, and rarely hide.

I love my 2 glofish danios they are hilarious!

Does the goldfish have to be under one of those special lights?

 

[jwh0818]

No that's not a requirement. It's just a way to get you to purchase their setup

No it just helps their color stand out. I like my blue lights, they looks so bright!

Oh okay. Do you think golfish and a platy would do okay in a tank

Glo fish are tetras and zebra danios. They need groups of 5+ and yes they will do just fine. What size tank do you have?

We'll currently I have two 10 gallons with 5 platies per tank but I'm planning on getting a 55 gallon or larger tank once I get my birthday money and get a few more fish

Okay I will be 100% honest. Your 2-10g are a bit over stocked. I would wait for the 55g before getting anymore fish. Zebra danios need at least 30" long swim room because they are very active fish

 

[loveforplaties]

Yes that's what I'm planning I'm definitely not getting anymore fish until I have a bigger tank.

Jwh do you think you can look at another forum I have? It's under freshwater discussion and the title is possible mold problem.

Nice! Can you post a pic I've been thinking I want my next tank to be a cichlid tank. I'm thinking maybe 8 cichlids in a 50 gallon tank? Or would that be over stocked

Depending on what type of cichlids and yes tomorrow night ill take pictures for you.

With African cichlids you want to overstock it spreads aggression.
Any question don't hesitate to ask

We'll I've even doing some research on jewel cichlids and it have grown to like them. So for a 50 gallon tank how many would you recommend getting?
