davidsummers Small Fry Posts: 4 Kudos: 2 Votes: 1 Registered: 06-Nov-2005	Hay i have a 3ft tank set up with pretty decent filtration and so forth and have for almost a year had a small turtle, who's shell is about the size of your palm. i have: 2 blue gourami's 2 keyhole cichlids 1 firemouth cichlid 1 sailfin pleco (about 10-11cms) and 10 zebra danio's my turtle is oblivious to the fish around him so it has become quite a community tank, but just a tad bare..i want to add something but i dont know what?..any ideas on what would go well ?

I'll assume it's around 50 gallons at 36x18x18, which is a good sized tank for what you have, but I'm afriad I wouldn't add much more. THe Pleco and probably the turtle are going to get quite a bit larger, and they are both pretty messy, so water quality will definitely be an issue. I wouldn't add anything more to this tank. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

If it is around a 50: The pleco will grow too big for the tank, and i think you need to move a gourami, as they will be aggressive. If you remove those to fish, you could probably get 6+ cories in there.

It would help alot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
