HI!
I just rehomed some of my guppies and moved the in a juwel rio 180 liter tank (don't ask me how many gallons that is - 180 liters
). So I now have 15 guppies in there and of course females are already pregnant. I also have one garra and a SAE.
I turned the temperature down to 22 C, to save on electricity bill (our room temperature is 18 -20 C, so the heater was on constantly when I had it fixed on 25 C) and all the fish are doing great.
I would like to add some other fish that would bring some color and/or livelines in my tank. They must not, however, be fin nippers as my guppies are fancy type. They must also enjoy living at 22 C...It would be great if the fish would eat fry, because my guppies don't touch them and I can't cull them nor does anyone wants guppies...I tried an all male tank before but the boys fought and nipped each other fins (and yes, they are all fancys and there were no other fish besides them in the tank)...
I was thinking of getting WCMM (tho they are hard to get here), zebra or lepoard danios (because they are lively but am affraid they would eat all the food from guppies)...Would they control the population?
Was also considering glass catfish but would they tolerate lower temperatures?
Any other suggestions? And no bottom feeders since I already have a garra and am possibly getting another two.
THX
