I just got a 40g tall (pentagon shaped) tank, and I'm going to buy a test kit and start fishless cycling it tomorrow. When the cycling is done, I would like to get...


1 or 2 Angelfish
2 Pearl Gouramis
1 Dwarf Gourami
And either...
7-8 Harlequin Rasboras
Or...
7-8 Lemon Tetras

I just would like everyone's opinion on this, from everything I've read I think these fish will do okay together, but since it is a tall tank, I'm afraid of overstocking it.

I am completely open to any ideas... the only fish that I am really set on getting is the pearl gourami...

Thanks.

Your stock is perfect =] You could probbaly throw in a fish or two if you wanted to, better understocked though. Send us some pics ^-^

I believe that the tall pentagon is a 44 gallon so you have room for perhaps a few more inches of fish than you thought...I have one of those and I think your selections will be good as they will occupy different levels. The only thing missing might be a clean-up crew.

I have just posted different "How many fish" in "Getting Started" it could be and interesting post.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Maybe you could add a group of Cories for the bottom. Or maybe a BN Pleco, although they do produce quite a bit of waste.

Thanks guys, I'm really glad that this stock will work, I've decided that maybe I will get some Kuhli Loaches for the bottom.
