anyone?

What sort of fish are you looking to add? Middle, top, bottom, small large medium?

Perhaps a pair of dwarf cichlid. Bolivian Rams are quite hardy and a nice addition.

im open to any suggestions really

id like a total stock list really ie 3 of this 6 of that etc

ive kept most fish in the past so im reasonally experienced.only fish i dont want are rainbows as i had lots in the past and would like a change and i dont really like gouramis

1 par of bolivian rams and perhaps 15 Rummynose Tetras. I said 15 because they are such a cool fish School more than my cardinals.

 

[rixy]

yeah that sounds really good,any more suggestions

4 Pakistani/Yoyo Loaches would be alright as well people have mixed experience on whether they can be agressive or not

 

[rixy]

really looking for a group of fish ie 12 emporer tetras,or,some thing different and interesting that wont hide away all the time.

 

[Kuhni]

A bunch of cherry barbs would be alrite as well.

A group of 8 hatchetfish and a pearl/lace gourami

Rummynose are a good suggestion, especially since you are looking for an active fish. Rams or apistos would go well with what you have. Your tank is large enough for a pair of Keyholes should you be fortunate enough to come across them. Sounds like an established tank and since it's planted you might try ottos to keep the South American theme. They don't look like much but are a very different and entertaining little fish, kinda like tadpoles.

how does this sound

7 x cardinals
16 x black neons
7 x assorted corys
2 x baby bristlenose


then add 12 rummynose and maybe something else if you think i have room
