Ok so I have a 70g with a penguin bio-wheel 350 (just has a pleco to keep it cycled) and I don't know what to put in it everytime I pick a fish I like and start to read about it and I find out that 1 it will get to big for my tank or 2 that its to aggressive for a community tank dose anyone have any suggestions and a neat schooling fish that has a variety of compatible tank mates

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Most tetras and danios would work. Some barbs (but not all) can be aggressive so they shouldn't be kept in a community IMO. Have you look at any cichlids? Because you could have a very nice set up with them.

I just had them in there and they pissed me off and dug around and made all my rocks shift now I'm scared of them

Had what?

Edit* and what kind?

 

[fishnewbe420]

To tell you the truth I don't know some kind of cichlid

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Ok so that still leaves a lot of other fish. What colors do you like?

 

[fishnewbe420]

Bright ones and I want some kind of a Cory trio

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Well you could basically choose any Cory since you have a large tank

 

[fishnewbe420]

What about like 3 syno

 

[alLexX]

A rainbow shark!!!

 

[Fishkeeper26]

That could work, what do you want for the other levels of the aquarium?

 

[fishnewbe420]

Hmmmmm.......... I have some golden barbs in a different tank I like there personality I might have to look for a cool barb could I put a BN pleco in there
p.s. thanx for the help and sorry for the spelling

 

[Fishkeeper26]

BN pleco would work, I would just use caution with barbs because barbs like tigers are very aggressive. And no problem

 

[Fishkeeper26]

A rainbow shark!!!

Some sort of shark would be a good centerpiece

 

[fishnewbe420]

That would work I have one in my 29 g that my lfs said would fine in there but I read otherwise

 

[Fishkeeper26]

What kind?

your LFS lied,rainbow and redtail sharks need a 55 galon minimum.

 

[Fishkeeper26]

That one can just be moved to the 70 then

 

[fishnewbe420]

Ok so 3 snyo. A rainbow shark and a BN would there be room fore more or am I maxed out?

 

[alLexX]

do you mean on the bottom,or the whole tank?cause yo can put way more fish in,but not too many bottom feeders
