ok as many ppl have prob seen from the previous post that i have a 29 gal tank with

1 gold and 1 black mystery snail
5 neons
5 glowlights
5 harlequin rasbora
1 dwarf gouramis
1 powder blue gouramis
1 pearl gouramis
1 upsidedown catfish
2 dwarf frogs
1 villavo pleco (L147)

So i have that to play with (which has been expressed to me its way overstocked, by the luck of Zues im keeping it stable)

However im getting a 10 Gal tank for my kitchen that is all coca cola. So im putting red and white stones and a coke window sticker in the back of the tank with 5 white guppies and 5 red with my dwarf grouamis to keep down the population. Plus since there will be no plants its taking my two snails too.

Now the other tank is 46 gal
its going to take all my current 29 gal fish other then what is in the 10 gal. plus 3 small cories, a female powder blue, one rubber lipped pleco and three yoyo loaches.

The 29 gal tank is going to become my semi aggressive tank.
what should i put in it.
i want
1 rubber lipped pleco
2 angels
and
a partridge in a pear tree.

but i dont know what other semis i could or should add.
like a good bottom eater (catfish)

???

ok I'm going to tackle the 10 gallon in the kitchen. Cool idea wanting it to be coke themed, but it is going to be way overstocked, fry or no fry The 10 guppies alone would overstock it, at most I would go 6, but that is going to push it even.

Now for corries: they need to be kept in schools of at least 6 or more, so just keeping 3 isn't going to make them very unhappy:#(

Why do you think you have to have a bottom feeder in the 29 gallon? A pleco will work on cleaning some of the bottom, but it isn't necessary to have to have a bottom feeder to clean the bottom In all honesty if you are going to put angels in the 29 that is about all you probably could suitably put in it.

For the 55 gallon, I would up the numbers on the neons, glowlights, and harlequin rasboras, as they each should be in schools of 6 or more as well...

Ok those are just my thoughts, heidi

This is what im thinking

46 Gal

6 neons
6 glowlights
6 harlequin rasbora
1 male powder blue gouramis
1 female powder blue gouramis
2 dwarf frogs
1 villavo pleco (L147)
3 yoyo loaches
1 rubber mouth pleco

29 Gal

2 angel fish
1 rubber mouth pleco
1 upsidedown catfish
1 pearl gouramis
6 cories
...

10 Gal

1 dwarf gouramis
1 gold mystery snail
1 black mystery snail
3 red guppies
3 white guppies

found the perfect place for the 10 gal. the mic is going in the corner and the fish tank is going in the microwave hole on the wall.

the snail in the kitchen make quick access escargo

This is what I would do in this situation.

46 Gallon

8 Neon Tetras
8 Glowlight Tetras
2 Dwarf gouramis(you don't really need to buy a female)
1 Villavo Pleco
3 YoYo loaches
6 Panda Cory's

29 Gallon

6 Cardinal Tetras
1 Rubber lipped pleco(not sure what they are...could they be the bulldog pleco?)
1 Pearl Gourami
6 Cory's (your choice)

10 Gallon
6 Guppies (3 red 3 white)
2 Mystery Snails
2 Dwarf Frogs

That's jsut what I would do

i like that however
i dont want to get rid of the rasboras or the upsidedown catfish
