[Aussie]

Does any body know what fish will make a great community tank in my 3ft long and 1ft wide fish tank. it already has 4 tiger barbs in it and a bristlenose and a samlon tailed catfish any ideas i would like to hear.

Whoa dude, that salmon cat will get bigger than your tank! lol i got one and its already over 14"
but as for tank mates, why not try silver sharks, guppys, platys all those little fish.

yer i no, i looking at getting sum rummy nose tetras and some more tiger barbs and i dont like the silver sharks so i mite look at getting some mollies aswell and some clown loaches and the gouramis.

 

[Vip]

clown loaches and the gouramis would look pretty cool, what about all differnt types of loaches?
And where in australia are you?

 

[Aussie]

yer what other loaches though i dont like the kulli loach but i like the clown and the gourimais they r good and have nice colours and they shouldnt attck my barbs.
I live in Perth Western Australia and u.

Im in melbourne, i think Bea/\/ is from perth as well, he might be able to help you in getting what you need, he might know some shops.

 

[Aussie]

oh ok cool, how many tanks do u have 1 2 or 3 and what sizes and what fish r in what.

 

[rvm]

Just a quick note, the Silver sharks would seriously outgrow that tank as well. They grow pretty big!!!

 

[Aussie]

yer i have read that and seen sum over 2 ft in large aqauriums in th local fish shop

 

[rvm]

Wow, that's BIG. I've not seen them that size before, but they are impressive when they're big!!

 

[Aussie]

yer it was quite huge and a suprise to see 1 so big compared to the little ones that r like 6 cm.

 

[Aussie]
