Final Community Fish Addition To Tank

[James9114]

hi there i currently have a 120 litre tank containing...
4 kuhli loach
2 albino corys(going to get another 1 or 2 i think)
3 bronze corys
5 glass carfish(i know there are many different kinds but these grow upto 8cm if that helps)

looking for another community fish (schooling or not) but as this is my last addition to the tank i want something special and maybe abit unique. if a singuler fish or pair upto 10cm tops if schooling fish upto 6cm tops. these fish sizes are for adult fish(fully grown).

water temp 24 degrees
PH 7.4

if i have missed any improtant info out just say, any advice/information on fish would be much appreciated and would also like to add that this is a brilliant website and i have learnt so much from it thanks to all.

I know it's not especially different however a shoal of Cardinal Tetra really do look nice, especially if you have a planted tank as the colour stands out against the greenery.

ph is well too high for them, will not do well in 7.4 ph

thinking of gettin either a pair of bolivian rams or a shoal of 6 black phantom tetra or a shoal of 6 black widow tetra any suggestions on this?

Hi,
I myself am one for having larger scale schools as I believe that the fish really appreciate it. So, in your case I would focus on building ALL of those schools of fish to 6 and then possibly adding another additional species to your tank. As for that actual fish though, I don't have any suggestions as current.

would there be enough room to do that tho as my tank is 120 litre? aswell as adding another group/pair or singular fish

You could add a trio of Congo Tetra, 1 male 2 females, I think these can do quite well in a higher pH and they look stunning

you could probably easily get the shoals up to 6 each, add another shoal and a centre piece of bolivians or other rams very easily!!
