Hello All:
I just got a 28 gallon hexagon tank and looking forward to setting up in the next few weeks. I grew up with fish tanks but this is my first running the show.
I have a few questions and would appreciate any feedback and incite!
Ideally I think I want to do...
A few tiger barbs
A few clown loaches
A few platinum neon green tiger barbs
An angel fish- not too long as tigers would nip at the tail
An algae eater
I am also looking to do 1or 2 of below as staple... I was researching...
Keyhole Cichlid
Sterbia Cory Catfish
Discus
Dwarf Puffer
I don't mind spending the money for the above so price isn't too much a factor.
My questions...
1) How many tiger barbs should be together in this size tank with other fish?
I know they are schooling but I didn't know what is too many to be over bullying other fish, or too little. Thoughts?
2) What good tall live plants go best for semi aggressive fish?
3) Any other recommendations? I am a little backwards as I think I am set on my "filler" fish but having trouble finding the larger staples.
Thanks!
