 | Completing my tank |
ericm    Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004   | Well, I still haven't completed my 32 gallon tank.  It has been a busy month for me and I can't decide on what fish to put in. Currently, I have 6 black neons, 6 danios which I am moving out of the tank, and 3 blue cories (I had 6 but 3 died). Anyways, I am going to put 3 ottos in there, and I am going to get 3 more cories and maybe 2 black neons. Now what else can I add? |

| PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004  | What type of centre piece fish do you want. I'll recomemend a pair of Blue or Bolivian Rams. They have great personalities. Another good option would be a dwarf Gourami. Dwarf Gouramis have great colur, are peaceful and they stay small. Also Cardinals in my opinion are one of the best looking tetras, so consider them as a option as well. |

Head on down to your lfs, or cruise the profiles here, and see what you like. |

| ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004 | I've beem through this many times and I can't decide. I am going to the lfs tomorrow to look. I either want a school of cardinals, or a centrepiece fish like a ram, angel (well the angel woulnd't quite fit would it unless i got a juvenille and maybe move it out when it grows) or a gourami of some sort. I don't really know what would go best and I'm not sure if any of the lfs here have rams  |

| sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004 | Actually, an angelfish would fit in that tank. Also, it probably would not eat the black neon tetras, or cardinals if you add them too. I think you'd be okay with an angelfish. |

| ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004 | I think I am going with the angel then. I've been reading a lot of mixed info about angels but I think I am going for one. Should I get a juvenille then, since my neons have been in there for a few months? I also have a problem with the danios. No one will take them and I do not have any other tanks. Last edited by ericm at 04-Dec-2004 21:55 |

| sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004 | Yeah, that would be for the best. Small angelfish are unable to eat tetras, and will not feel the need to once they've grown up. If you add an adult angelfish, then your tetras may well become an expensive snack! |

| PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004 | Yeah I agree, a juvenile Angelfish would fit in real well. |
