	Centrepiece fish stocking question
Deb2fish Fingerling Posts: 20 Kudos: 18 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jan-2005	My 65 gallon tank has recently cycled. I have 7 bleeding heart tetras and 6 serpae's plus 1 RTBS which had grown too big for my son's tank and is now happy in mine. It is very peaceful, I have even caught it shoaling with the tetras! I plan on getting 6 cory cats and would like to finish off with something else, but I am not sure what. I was thinking of a school of rainbows, I like angels but don't think they would be a good idea with my serpaes. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

Deb2fish Fingerling Posts: 20 Kudos: 18 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jan-2005	I did some research on Pearl Gourami's and they do look a nice fish. How many would you recommend? It seems that they do well in pairs. Although Discus are a beautiful fish, I think I will steer clear for now, all my mad tetra's would scare them to death! They also need a much warmer tank. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming.

A 65 gallon is a pretty big tank, so there probably wouldn't be any problem, but it should be kept in mind just in case... PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.
