Ideas For Fish Selection

[sebseb]

Hi There

I have a 2 ft x 2 ft x 1ft tank (is that 10 gallon) and its 'cycled'.
At the moment i have 6 white cloud minnows in there and they are donig really well. Although when they lay eggs, the eggs very quickly become invalid and get some fungus or something on.
Anyway i'd like to add some more fish, but i want them all to be comaptible with each other and with the tank.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

thanksss

Seb

I want to get some neons, but dont really ahve space for a large shoal. Would they do alright if i had 2 or 3? would they shoal with the minnows?

If the tank is 2ftx2sfx1ft then you have plenty of space to have a shoal of around 10-20 Neon Tetras. You could have 15 Neons, a pair of Dwarf Cichlids a Pleco or 5 Corys, you could also up the number of Minnows to 10 and have a Dwarf Gourami too.

Pygmy Cories are cool. . .very entertaining to watch. I recently added four to my tank and they all get along amazingly well. NONE of them have bickered once (a fish lovers dream come true). There are also guppies in the tank and the two sets of species ignore each other completely.
