 | Getting Re-Started |
Nick    Fish Addict 33 Posts: 553 Kudos: 668 Votes: 509 Registered: 09-Aug-2004    | I was thinking about "re-starting" my community tank with some new and different fish. Right now i've got some Mollys, Swordtails, Platys...fish like that. But i'd like a little more colorful and not quite the overall same looking fish as what i have.I have a 29 gal. hex. Any suggestions on a new community???? |

| fish1 Banned Posts: 1727 Kudos: 1910 Votes: 58 Registered: 09-May-2004 | Dont get tiger barbs cause they will nip fins. Most tetras are fin3e as long as they are kept in a proper school of 6+. |
