After a die off in my tank which I think has stopped it is time to restock. (never found the reason for it) Here is what is left:

1 tiger barb
2 SAE's
2 bronze cories
1 clown loach
1 RTB
1 yoyo
1 bolivian ram
1 glass catfish
1 male bn

I will be filling out the school of cories to 6, and adding 6 or so tb's. I will be keeping the clown loach and the bn aswell. The clown loach hangs out with the cories and always has so I am happy with him at this stage.

What would you do with these fish, keeping in mind the fish I would like to keep. I have someone who can take any fish that wont suit the new stock list but I would like to keep as many as I can.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Sorry about the losses

As for restocking: If you want the tiger barbs, bump the school up to 8.

8 tigers
6 cories
1CL
1BN
2SAES
+
1 biggish school of something else? or more tigers and cories? Depending on plants and filtration and decor you need not limit yourself to bare minimum school levels...

I would get rid of the glass cats (get kind of big, dont they? plus shoalers) the RTBS, and the yoyo

as for the Bolivian - set-up a ten gallon planted for him/ her with some little tetras/ rasboras/ otos Can't let a pretty fish like that slip away

Back in the saddle!

I would keep the Tiger Barbs & add more, to make them school, keep the Bronze Corydoras & add more, keep the Clown Loach, so it will keep all snails under control (if you have live plants), add another Bolivian Ram to the one you already have & keep the BN for Algae control.

With those, you can add a school of Tetras, like Rummynose or Lemon.

The tank is planted and I will be planting more. Filtration is an Eheim ecco 2233 (I think) and a small internal power filter.

I should of said in my first post, sorry.
