	What would you add?
T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	25 US gallons(30"x12.5"x16" ) - 6 Platies - 4 Peppered Cories The tank is fake planted with caves and driftwood. pH is around 7.4. And the temperature is between 76F and 78F. If it was up to you, what would you add to the stock? Last edited by T/A at 01-Sep-2005 20:10

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	First at least 2 cories for certain. Cories need groups of 6 or more to be happy. Then if all the platies are of the same gender and not going to overstock that tank in the next few months I might add a dwarf gourami.

i_spaz_out Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 67 Votes: 1 Registered: 10-Jul-2005	some sort of danio or minnow white cloud mountain minnows are really nice looking and different from the same ol' zebra danio, but they're still pretty lively.

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	I'd add 4 more peppered cories (the more there are, the happier they are), and a school of pygmy cories (15-20) Then again, that's just me... I'm going to have 30 cories in my 29g when I'm finished stocking it (yep, getting another school of cories... yep, peppereds are showing spawning behavior again)

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	Thanks for all the suggestions! My first choice would be the Pygmy Cories and maybe a Dwarf Gourami or Rams. But I don't know if I'd be able to find any Pygmies any more. I also liked the Rainbowfish idea. But I'd rather go with Boesemani or Praecox. How would either of those choices work out?

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	no, the boeseman's will get to large for that tank. they need a large tank with open swimming area. a 75 gallon would be better for a school of boeseman.

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	After thinking about it some more, I've come up with 3 options that I'd like to do. 1) 8 Pygmy Cories & 1 dwarf Gourami 2) 5 Praecox Rainbowfish 3) 2 Bolivian Rams, 2 Cherry Barbs, & 2 Peppered Cories Good idea, bad idea, slight modification needed, let me hear your opinions.

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	number three sounds best. dont want to over crowed the bnottom layer of the tank.maybe add 5 cherry barbs instead of the number given.

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	I thought Pygmies were more of a mid dweller?

i_spaz_out Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 67 Votes: 1 Registered: 10-Jul-2005	you could get a peaceful african, because they like the high ph level and the caves you have in there. try a krib or a yellow lab (electric yellow cichlid) Last edited by i_spaz_out at 04-Sep-2005 13:47
