Which fish next?

[Angry_Platy]

Due to my recent losses I am looking at getting more fish. I would like schooling fish.

I also thought of cories. Would these go with platies and swordies?

I saw some Cardinal's the other day.

The looked sooo nice. So I voted them.

What size tank? How many swords/platies/other fish do you already have? This is important because if you want schooling fish they need to be in a group of 6 so your tank has to have enough room for them when fully grown. If the tank is 20 gallons or more, I reccomend zebra danios. If smaller, I like black phantom tetras, harlequin rasboras and golden dwarf barbs.

Also, how long has the tank been set up and is it planted (or fake plants)? This can be an issue with some fish - particularly those that require a mature tank or those that are shy.

Cories - especialy pygmy/dwarf cories, would be nice. They are not bottom dwellers though, spending most time schooling in the middle. Other great cories include blackfin, bronze and peppered cories. All of which I have found to be very hardy.

hello

i would try bronze or pepper cories as i keep them in my tank along with tuxedo platies and green swordtails and they all get along quite hapily, but it really depends on what you would like but you could always ask your fish shop and see what they recommend.

hope this was of some use to you

Cardinal tetras are the elites. Its not even an issue. Cardinals or neons are the elite masters of the aquarium, thus, you must get them.

If you've got the room I would get harlequin rasboras, as they look fab in a school. Thats what I'm planning for my next tank

Cory's for me, don't get albino's though, they will drive you nuts they are hyperactive

I like my peppered cory's but I'd like some panda's next.

I have harlequins too, they're OK, not sure about cardinals, I prefer the neons and mine are quite playful.
