I currently have a 30 gallon tank setup with the following occupants.
2 Bala Sharks
2 Iridescent Sharks
5 Black Skirt Tetras
1 surviving Tiger Barb that schools with the Tetras
1 Pleco
3 Kuhli Loaches
1 Male Betta
Everything in the tank gets along fine with no conflict or nipping. All of my fish are small currently with the Betta being the largest thing in the tank.
I want to add a Dwarf Gourami so the Betta will be getting his own 3 or 5 gallon tank to prevent any conflicts there. I also know that the Iridescent and Balas get huge so they are moving to a 55 gallon when they outgrow the current setup and then into an even larger setup when our basement finishing project is done.
I am thinking of adding another schooling species and was thinking either 6 White Fin Rosy Tetras or 6 Red Minor Serpae. Any thoughts on which of these would go better with my tank or if either would be a bad choice?
I am getting back to keeping aquariums after about 15 years of not having one but never kept Tetras before so I am quite unfamiliar with them. I have been reading a lot of info but wanted the opinions of the hive here as there is a huge wealth of information available from the members here.
Your input is greatly appreciated and I thank you.
