You can add a big school of Rummynose Tetras, as they are wonderful fish. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	why subtract the sea fans - i like the marine style, i'm adding a few rocks and building it up slowly. i intend i one to turn it into african cichlids. i've gone for neons just what large fish could i have would like about 4. cheers shekoi www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk

Its my personal preference in my tanks to keep all of the decor strictly freshwater. If your style means that you like the looks of the seafans, keep them in. They are not hurting anything. I do think they would look better with the rocks and african cichlids though .
