[ab3514]

Hey, just wondering if anyone has any cool unusual fish in their community tank, something a bit different to the usual neons and guppys etc, but who live happily alongside community fish??

Flag fish, Pencil fish, Apisto sp., Killifish, Ram



Too many to list and think of off the top of my head. The only problem with unusual fish is finding them...

I have a pair of ropefish in mine, funky fish but difficult to feed

I've got a spotted climbing perch in mine.

but spotted climbing perches are cool

upside down catfish

Gourami or discus are realy good additions to a tank. discus have to have a fairly large tank.

 

[Krullpes]

blue-eye rainbowfish (Pseudomugil sp)
threadfin rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri)

They are the "normal" fish in my aquarium. The rest are in my sig.

My whole community is a bit odd but those that live happily with smaller normal fish would be -

Glass Catfish
Reedfish (ropefish)
Halfbanded Spiney Eel

in the past I have had panchax too which are lovely friendly fish.

I also have spotted climbing perch but I wouldn't keep them with anything smaller than 2"
