Hello :)

[IndySE]

Hello,
 
Have made a few posts already but have just seen this bit...
 
Names Indy and I have had my tropical tank setup since February. I have changed tank once so far to a bigger one, a Fluval Roma 200, currently occupied by 33 fish:
 
5 x White Cloud Mountain Minnow
3 x Zebra Danio  
1 x Yellow Zebra Danio
2 x Scissortail Rasbora
1 x Neon Tetra
2 x Columbian Tetra
1 x Glass Catfish
1 x Boesmani Rainbow
2 x Red Platy
3 x High Fin Platy
1 x Molly
5 x Harlequin
2 x Denisoni Barb
2 x Silver Shark
2 x Pleco
 
I think I might have got a bit carried away with my Pokemon approach (gotta catch em all!!!) so will be looking to reduce species and expand existing ones at the same time, gonna be a bit tricky as you kinda get attached to em all!
 
Cheers,
Indy

Just going to mention a few things stock wise here, the following fish are schooling fish and should be kept in numbers of at least the following...
Minnows-10+ (personal recommendation)
Danio-6+
Rasbora-6+
Tetra-6+
Glass catfish- 6+

The list goes on, you basically have done the pokemon approach and in doing so the above fish, to name a few are going to suffer from not being in a school as they would be in the wild. The one neon tetra is particularly disheartening
Pick your faves and post the list on here, we can then help you establish an impacting stock of fish that will work great together and look lovely in your tank!!!

I feel well guilty about the neon tetra, i originally had 6 but as they were so small most of em got barged to death during feeding time when there was a wild frenzy...
 
One of my silver sharks looks like its not gonna last the day (http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/419764-silver-shark-caught-in-fake-plant/#entry3541496) so besides that, here's my initial thoughts:
 
1) White molly, neon tetra, glass catfish and yellow zebra danio to go back to the LFS
2) 1 of the Plecos to go to my cousins house
 
That will free up some space and i'll probably try and increase the population of the Columbian Tetra as they are absolutely mental, maybe the Danios and probably a few more harlequins.
 
Thats the plan anyway, it will probably change tomorrow lol!
 
Cheers for the advice,
Indy
