So far in my 55 gal, heavily planted, low tech, well filtered tank I have:
6 Kuhli Loaches
5 Blue Gouramis
6 Turquoise rainbows
3 Pristella tetras
5 Red Minor Serpae Tetra
And a couple snails and shrimp.
So first off, no more impulse buys, and no more trusting the people who work at the aquarium, cause many don't have any idea what they're selling.
The Red Minor Serpae Tetra are said to be semi aggressive, and seem to be fin nipping other fish in the tank, even though the pet store guy said they're perfect community fish.
I've also heard Blue gouramis are aggressive as well, so I'm not sure what I should remove from the tank at this point. I have a 10g I'm thinking of moving the tetras into, because the gouramis seem to get along well with the rainbows.
What else would you guys recommend adding after I figure this out. Next week as my last addition, I was thinking of adding one or two bigger fish, and a couple neon tetras. For the bigger fish I was thinking an angel or something, can anyone recommend an angel or larger fish that will be okay in a community tank? Thanks!
