Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Out of those choices, I would have a bunch of schoolers. However, in real life, I'd have different sizes of fish that inhabit different strata, so it wouldn't be as boring as a bunch of schools. 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.

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	A school (of Cyprichromis leptosoma) and a breeding group (of N. multifasciatus or N. similis). Of course, the Cyps would breed as well, and you'd soon have two thriving colonies. Ah, I wish I had a tank like that ... wait, I do. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

i_spaz_out Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 67 Votes: 1 Registered: 10-Jul-2005	i'd say get a school or two and then get some bigger fish too, like a couple cichlids. make sure to cover all the strata tho, so you don't have a big empty area in the tank.

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	what is the tank size, 55+ well, use ur best judgement, a 55 wouldn't be enough for an adult oscar.

weird22person Enthusiast Posts: 163 Kudos: 106 Votes: 11 Registered: 21-Feb-2005	To clarify if you could only have one of these group what would you have-no mixing types. The Guppy bleeding tank is so you could keep all the babies and have a tank full of Guppies. The 55+ was just as an example- you could have a 180 gallon+ if you wanted.

Sorry, but that just struck me as REALLY funny for some reason....hehe. I have yoyo loaches, albino zebra danios, and original color tiger barbs in my 55. The tigers chase the danios, and the yoyo's chase the barbs.... makes for an interesting sight!! Last edited by tek at 26-Aug-2005 17:42

weird22person Enthusiast Posts: 163 Kudos: 106 Votes: 11 Registered: 21-Feb-2005	Hey, I just realized I never gave my vote. I like tanks full of small schooling fish. Whats cooler than tons of colorful Tetras actively swimming around the whole tank. 20 Gallon Long: Aquaclear 300 2 Bolivian Rams, Mikrogeophagus altispinosus: Gumby and Pokey
