Fish Crazy
Hello all you fish lovers out there! Even though I signed up today I am not a newbie to fishkeeping. I have a sucessful 5 gallon tank which thrives. I have done some research on fish and tanks and came up with a possible list of fish to put into a 46 gallon community tank. I'm planning to get it at Christmas time but i really want to have a good knowledge in advance regarding several topics. Each species has its adult length show(length combined if more than 1 fish). Here it goes:
x6 tetras 12" (similar to diamond tetra with either a baby blue or light pink color)
x4 otocinclus 6"
x3 ballon mollies 6" (love the little guys!)
x2 corydoras 5"
x2 angelfish 10"
x2 dwarf gouramis 5"
x1 blood parrot cichlid 7"
x1 clown loach 6"
TOTAL: 57" of fish
Well, that's it. I know I'm a bit over the amount of fish you should have in an aquarium but from past experience its all about maintence and studying the fish. For food i'll have a great variety of brine shrimp, quality fish flakes, bloodworms, tubifex worms and some algae based flakes as well. I'll also have several hiding spots (some large, some small) like imitation logs and caves. Also, a nice mix of real and synthetic plants will span almost the whole rear of the tank for extra hiding and so the tank looks good too! Beneath it all will lie a mix of small to medium sized smooth tan/brown colored gravel. Well, hopefully the posts will come!! What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
