Hey there! My parents have had a small 10g I got them about 8 years ago. Theres a small school of harlequin rasboras in there right now. My parents have recently expressed interest in upgrading to a 55g. I need some help picking out fish and what would work together and what would look good.
Im thinking of increasing the rasbora school, adding a school of possibly (ember, ruby, or serpae) tetra, maybe some velvet swordtails, a few angel fish (one or two black and one or two mostly orange w/ some black), ottos or hillstream loaches, maybe a mystery snail or two, maybe some shrimp, maybe kuhli loaches? That's kind of where I'm at right now in terms of ideas.
My mom would like them to 'match' the rasboras, hence why alot of them have orange/black, and my dad likes bright fish. We went to petsmart and he pointed out the blacklight neon selection and the Dalmatian mollies. I told him no to the black light fish and my mom said no to the mollies. Im thinking the hillstream loach or synodontis catfish could emulate that dalmatian pattern and make him happy.
if anyone knows good places to shop in either Las Vegas/Henderson area or good online sources for live fish that would also be great. Thanks so much!
