	My new 6 gallon tank
Gomer Ultimate Fish Guru Small Fry with BBQ Sauce Posts: 3602 Kudos: 1709 Votes: 106 Registered: 29-Mar-2002	Finally got my tank looking how I want it. All I need to do now is wait until it is finished cycling then I'll buy some fishies. I think I am going to go with 5 or 6 Neon Tetras and a single Ram or Apisto. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z151/Gomer_Album/SA400101.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z151/Gomer_Album/SA400103.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z151/Gomer_Album/SA400104.jpg

With the tetras a bigger the school the better they then behave like a school of fish rather than a few odd fish here and there in the tank. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

All the plants in the tank are fake except the anubias on the driftwood. Haven't got a light yet, waiting for my parents to post the one I have at their place.

brandeeno Mega Fish Posts: 929 Kudos: 636 Registered: 13-Sep-2007	looks like a nice small set up... maybe try like 6 cardinals and some shrimp... a ram or apistos is likely going to be upset in such a small space. Although a small apisto might fit nicely, you would have to do some major research. Make sure you stock slowly and steadily, you dont want a mini cycle and all your fish die... \\\\\\\"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure\\\\\\\"

Today I bought 8 Neon Tetras and 1 Blue Ram. I'll be monitoring the ammonia and nitrite levels for a few days. Will get some good photos when my light comes tomorrow.
