Hi folks,
My tank is stocked with mostly Asian fish (thick-lipped gourami, harlequin rasbora, badis badis, one bamboo shrimp), along with some BN plecos given to me by a friend. Another friend wants the plecos, and I'd like to replace them with something from Asia. I really like hara, but my tank is kept at pretty tropical temperatures and I understand they like it a little cooler. Even without a heater, my tank sits at 78-80F in the summer and I don't want to mess with chillers. I also like dojos, but same problem with the temp, and I understand they are also egg eaters, which could be a problem with the badis and the gourami.
I've had kuhlis in the past, and I never saw them, so I'd like something a little more visible. It's a 50 gallon tank so nothing too big.
Does anyone have any recommendations for something that would work for the bottom of the tank: Asian, warm temperature tolerant, and peaceful?
