First Tank For 2 Years, Stocking A 60l. Suggestions Please!

[DMan99]

Hey all.

Basically, a few years ago I had a few tropical aquariums and also worked in my lfs. I've been thinking for a while i'd like to get a tank again. Tomorrow I am going to buy an aquarium in the region of 60-90l and so I have about a month to choose what to stock it with. I am open to any suggestions as I really don't know what to stock it with.

Please help!!!

It's an interesting suggestion. I think i'll be slightly reluctant to fill the tank with one kind of fish, even though you can get different types of minnows, as I'm excited about it all now and I'd like a bit of variety. If it was to be one type of fish then I would probably go for a larger one that was more unusual.

Thankyou very much for the suggestion though, I'm not ruling out having some minnows as part of a community setup.

I would favor small fish for a small tank like that. Maybe some heterandria formosa with a few endlers and pygmy cories as a cleanup crew. It really depends on what catches your fancy as far as stocking but there are lots of small fish that would look great in a group for a small tank.
