katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004	If you want to keep both bottom feeders id go with something like this 6-8 neons 6-8 harlies 1 clown 6 bandits Id be very diligent with water changes, maybe like 20-30% weekly. I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004	I know ive said this before, but i really dont think a pleco and cories are a good idea. I think a pleco and a proper school of cories would max out your bioload, especially if you want a big school of tetras/harlies. I would go with one or the other. Plecos, even small ones, produce a ton of waste and can make too small of a tank go bad even if they seemingly fit.

kj fishy-finn Big Fish Posts: 385 Kudos: 200 Registered: 21-Jan-2004	or what about 15 harlequins??? but i would like some more color in the tank, like adding neons. would 5 neons work, or is that not enough to be happy. then i could do 11 harlquin and 5 neons with pleco and cories.

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Personally, I would get 12 harlies and 6 neons. Harlies school really well, and are so pretty! Neons seem a little boring to me. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

kj fishy-finn Big Fish Posts: 385 Kudos: 200 Registered: 21-Jan-2004	this: 1 clown plecostomus 3 bandit corydoras 9-11 harlequin rasboras with: 2 keyhole cichlids(9 harlequin) or 2 dwarf gouramis(11 harlequin) which would work better in a 20 gallon community tank???

Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Id go with either cardinals or neons. Maybe 6 of them would be best. Cherry barbs are nice aswell.

katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004	By Dwarf cichlids i mean rams, apistos, or keyholes. Some small barbs and tetras are: Neons Cardinals Glowlights Black Neons Hatchet fish (not really a barb or tetra) Cherry barb Dwarf gold barbs Im not sure id go with danios, your stock is starting to get full and a group of 3in, active fish may not be the greatest idea. I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

kj fishy-finn Big Fish Posts: 385 Kudos: 200 Registered: 21-Jan-2004	what do you mean by dwarf cichlids??? and could you name some tetras or barbs or danios that would work with harlequins??? Last edited by kj fishy-finn at 08-Jul-2005 22:57 kj fishy-finn <*)))>< 20 Gallon Album 5 Gallon Album

katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004	1) 6 Harlies 2) 6 small tetras 3) Dwarf Cichlid pair 4) Clown or 6 bandits (and maybe an oto trio) I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

kj fishy-finn Big Fish Posts: 385 Kudos: 200 Registered: 21-Jan-2004	or what about some more harlequins??? and then add another school of some colorful tetras??? what would look good with harlequins??? or barbs or some danios???

katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004	Id go with either 6 bandits or 1 clown, not both. Mainly because the clown will produce a lot of waste. Im suggesting 6 because a school of cories is much more lively, and playful then a trio. Edit: If you do cories and otos i wouldnt have more than 3 otos and 6 cories.
