keithgh      *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003   | I personally would remove the guppies and increase the school of Dwarf Neon Rainbows. What plants and any other features do you have in tha 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.

Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005 | My 40G from a couple of months ago I really need to post a new picture of it but I haven't been able to barrow my friends cammera in a while. The tank looks pretty much the same but much more grown in. I am quie happy with my school of rainbows right now. I would really like to up my number of rasboras though because they hang so close together. Maybe up it to 10 and add in a pair of dwarf cichlids. Guppys I can hook my friend up with. Not a biggie... 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric |

| chelaine Big Fish Posts: 383 Kudos: 343 Votes: 78 Registered: 23-Jul-2005  | i would oust the guppies add 3 or so rasboras and the dwarf cichlids seem like an okay idea. it seems as though you've got alot of bottom dwellers, i think that would look pretty good with the decent size schools mid-tank, especially with a long tank, it seems they're harder to fill out for me. it seems like all the fish in my 55 are in one spot of the tank! good luck! *Chelle* I love the fishes cuz they're SOOO delicious... |

| Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005 | All the rainbows and rasboras are all over the place. Normaly mid to top. Trust me I don't have a problem seeing fish in my tank all the time. The fish I don't see all the time though are my Otos, Pleco and Loaches. They seem to hide a bit more. 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric |
