Platy’s will work EASY. Clown Killis will work anywhere. I don’t like Pleco s.

Just wondering what u have against plecos?

 

[FreshwaterFins99]

I told you above : Macropodus opercularis ok community tank if alone of his species.
Odessa barb Pethia, yes.
WCMM Tanichthys, yes.

Which of the 2 schoolers would you recommend?

 

[Avel1896]

They both fit your tank temp. but need much vegetation/roots/branches.

Tanichthys albonubes – White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Aphyocypris pooni) — Seriously Fish

Pethia padamya – Odessa Barb (Puntius padamya) — Seriously Fish

Are either better with the semi aggressive temperament of the paradise?

Before anything else, check your (tap?) water : pH GH KH NO2 NO3

If yank is densly planted with roots/branches and hidding places, both are ok even if I prefer Odessa.

You should buy JBL strips.

Yes i like odessas as well. Dont know how densely planted I can get, kinda under a strict budget. So how about 1 paradise and 8 odessas?

GOOD I think Odessa is less impressionable than WCMM.
Don't take into account tank sizes, it's only to give an idea...

gonna be hard to replicate that type of planting with my budget. is that type of planting necessary?

What do you mean by that?

 

[Avel1896]

kinda under a strict budget.

This point would be nice : aquaria'ennemy are, speed, precipitateness. Allow time to your purse. The more time you give to your tank, the better it will do.

Less shy.

Ah makes sense.
