How's it going? I currently have a healthy established tank with several Cichlids, and I am starting new 30 gallon tank this week with some smaller fish with sand as the substrate and no live plants. I did a quick run through my LFS and am thinking about the usual danios, tetras, guppies, platies, gouramis, mollies, tiger barbs, snails, frogs, shrimp, crabs, and well that's it I think.
Obviously, I'm not going to put all of them in my tank, lol. I just wanted to know which ones should definately not be in the same tank, as far as aggresion, pH, etc. is involved. I've heard that the Tiger Barbs can be a bit aggressive sometimes. Would they be alright with a school of Tetras/smaller fish? Which types would be good to get rid of some minimal algae? I think I read one or two gouramis and a couple snails? I know Plecos will eventually get too big for the tank so that's not an option. What should I know about possibly adding frogs, crabs, and shrimp?
Basically looking for a few schools of the smaller fish, a couple bigger fish like some dwarf gouramis, a couple snails, and maybe the crabs, etc. if it's allowed. I want lots of color. Will be buying BioSpira and some fish towards the end of the week. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
