Then there are of course these guys always... But I was kinda looking for something not as common. Different looking ya know?

Chilli rasboras?

When I first started keeping fish years ago, a dear friend on another fishkeeping forum suggested the rummynose to me

I had the same feelings about them as does @Rocky998 , initially...after having kept them for almost 10 years now, I can truly say they are indeed not only my favorite tetra, but favorite fish overall, as well

Chilli rasboras?

They need a VERY low PH... Too low for me. My pH is 8 but I have soft water. So I try to find fish with a ph of 7.8 or so...

Maybe someday I will attempt keeping them... But for now I want to avoid them...

It's totally fine. I understand lol.

My gudgeons can live in a PH of 6-7.8 and some places even do say 8. So I figured they would be good and they are even breeding! Very happy with my decision on choosing them so far!

l can relate BUT you should definitely do the rummynoses imo.

I just can't bring myself to get them... Lol. Maybe I don't have to get a top dwelling schooling JUST yet... I can always wait. I plan to get the fish in stages.
First the sterbai cory, then the luminatus, and then other things...

I would also LOVE to have a blue phantom pleco

But they kinda big and chunky... Don't know how well it would do with the corys and gudgeons
I need to do further research

Yah it's possible but people say their minimum tank size is a 20-30g tank...

Some say 50. But let's say 30, l think with all the other fish you'd still be over the limit..

Yah... Very possible lol. I might not do the pleco either.
I'll feel it out as I fill the tank with fish

But I'm SUUUUPER excited to start this project. And I think my mom is as well but she doesn't want to show it lol.
She gets all excited when I show her fish I'm looking at lol
