Semi-Aggressive Community

[fishfoo]

My tank is still cycling but I am considering what type of fish to have. Mine is a 64 litre, is it too small for a semi-aggressive community?

Any ideas at all what fish you'd like?

I thought about possibly some tiger barbs, but I'm not sure what I can get away with in a 64 litre.

By semi-aggressive, are you wanting to see boisterous behaviour, or have fish that have a predatory side?

Boisterous behaviour: (at least 6) Paraguay Tetras? About the only thing they leave alone are Corydoras hastatus, that look like themsleves on steroids! 3cm fish with a fiesty side. Alternatively, a small group of shell-dwelling Tanganyikan cichlids.

Predatory side: (safely 1, possibly 2) African Butterfly Fish, with either a trio hareem of Gardneri Killifish or (a single) smaller Bushfish species eg. Ornate; Congo.
