	New tank!
ghostfish Hobbyist Posts: 101 Kudos: 79 Votes: 4 Registered: 23-Nov-2004	I have a 40 gallon tank which has been running for two weks without fish. I am ready to stock it now but don't know what fish to stock it with? can anyone suggest some Peaceful fish for a planted tropical tank?[font color="#000080"]

DonnieBoy Hobbyist Posts: 81 Kudos: 67 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Nov-2004	I'm new here and just set up a 55 gallon tank myself, but I love the "Harlequin Rasboras" I got in there. I only have 2 of the guys and was only gonna get about 5 or 6 of them but I may get more of those and less of another fish... not sure right now though... I also have Zebra Danios which are real nice looking and good for starting a tank (inexpensive too!) Don

ghostfish Hobbyist Posts: 101 Kudos: 79 Votes: 4 Registered: 23-Nov-2004	the rams and cardinals sound good but what other smal catfish are there other than cories.

JQW Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003	i'd say a school of 6 cories 1 angelfish (i've heard for angelfish it's either 1 or >4 if you don't have a definite pair) 12 rasboras

PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004	[font color="#000080"]I like the stocking option:[/font] [font color="#008000"]2 Blue, or Bolivian Rams 12 Cardinals 7 Cories and maybe a few otos.[/font] [font color="#000080"]If you don't want cories instead you can have a BN or upside down cats like rabbit said.[/font] [font color="#800080"]Another fish I think you should consider are dwarf gouramis, they have great colour and only grow around 5cm. I also like the Angelfish idea aswell.[/font] Last edited by PJ at 24-Nov-2004 04:19
