One Yellow Fish

sil80guy · 05-01-2008, 09:22 PM

Hi im looking to add 1 last fish to the tank, a nice yellow fish. My tank is a passive tank no aggression at all. The thing is though I can have any fin nippers and nothing flashy that might aggrivate my betta. I was hopeing for a yellow oto but unfortunatly they dont have any at my lfs.

It would be great if I could get some suggestions.

Currently I have 1 pleco, 3 platies maybe 5 baby platies. 6 ghost shrimp, 4 panda cats, 10 neon tets, 1 betta, 1 turbo? snail, 3 hatchets.

my tank is also 20H gallons and heavily planted.

Oh really, are they that aggressive? They keep one in a mixed planted tank at an LFS near me, he's so pretty.

GAE are just golden CAEs, and we all know about CAEs. -_-

Honey gourami?

First thing that came to mind for me was the golden wonder killifish. Petco and/or Petsmart recently started carrying these fish regularly, and the males are a gorgeous solid yellow. They do stay near the top of the tank though, and they will eat smaller fish, so your hatchets would have to be a decent size. Might eat your neons too, but probably not. Here's a photo.

A Gold Ram might eat your shrimp....and probably wouldn't get along with the Betta.

You have quite a fish load now....and the Hatchets would do better with more, so I would go that route and not add another fish.

If the Platies continue to breed, they will increase your fish load too.
