It measures 120cm X 40cm X 40cm. At the moment it houses platys, mollie, tetras and guppies but I want to move them to a smaller tank as I feel the bigger tank is wasted on them. Now I have had blue rainbows before and enjoyed the immensely so I was thinking 6 blue rainbow fish, 6 congo tetra and 2 moonlight Gouramies (not sure if they are compatible though?) I will have to leave some of the fish I have already in the tank where they are they are as follows 2 Dwarf honey Gourami, 1 Dwarf coral blue Gourami, 1 rubber pleco, 4 corys and a Siamese Fighting Fish. Would I be well stocked with this amount of fish or would I have room for some other type of fish if so do you have any ideas of fish that would be compatible with the fish I mentioned? Thanks for help http://www.greenspersonalprinting.com/ |
