Hi, First Day With Fish!

[kporteo]

Just a quick note to introduce myself and my tank, I didn't think I would ever be able to move across to a fish board. Ive been fishless cycling since August and finally, I have my first fishies!! 11 Bentosi Tetra, they are fantabulous!! Here's a pic and will keep you all updated as I add more fish to my family!

I had never heard of that tetra before, but it is very nice! I also lover your hardscape and background. What else are you planning on putting in your tank? You still have a lot of space left...

Thanks again, background is a Juwel rockscape, im planning on some plants eventually to go in the tank, and my next additions may be some Black Widow Tetras, Penguin or Emporer Tetras and 3 blue gouramis..... but Im very open to suggestions!

Hopefully it should be looking finished by the time visits my house!

When you are talking about blue gouramis, do you refer to the 3-spot or the dwarf?

What about a fish for the bottom? Cories, loaches...

I love the dwarf gouramis, so think itl be those, as for the bottom, ive seen some albino bristlenose plecs, ive been advised to get 3, 2females and a male, but my lfs has said the size they sell them its pretty impossible to sex them.

But, as i say, im open to suggestions

Your tank is too small for the bristlenose in the long run. Look for another plec that stays smaller; at planet catfish you can read profiles for all the different plecs and other catfish.

The tank is 190 litres, more than enough for Bristlenose Plecos

Yes, you are right! Sorry, got confused with the common plec....

 

[Carlovel1]

Easy mistake to make lol

started to panic when I read that!!! Think the bristles are going in next, whenever this snow eventually goes.....

How many bristles do you all think would be alright for the tank size?
