	stocking a 45g with an RTBS
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	45g currently has six cories, one BN, and one RTBS so now I need to stock the rest of the tank. I know tiger barbs are an option; are there any other schoolers that would be ok with the RTBS? Any centerpiece fish suggestions as well would be appreciated ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	You're right, but when they named them black "neons" they obviously didn't think of that. Some people may not know what you mean by black cardinals though.

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	How about Boesemani Rainbowfish? I'm currently planning a 75 gallon tank for a Rainbow Shark. The tankmates that I'm thinking about using are some larger Cories, male Swordtails, and a school of Boesemani Rainbowfish.

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	So average-sized schoolers would be safe? As far as the cories I posted about them to make sure. The RTBS is young/small so hopefully there won't be future problems as it grows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
