	Which tetras for my 96 litre?
labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	I am getting a 96 litre with 1 lace gourami 1 gold gourami 1 opaline gourami 3 upside down catfish and probobly a school of Harlequins. I was thinking of a school of 5 or 6 tetras maybe neons? For a tank with a Ph of 6.5 Not sure about dh what would be best ? Are neon tetras a good choice or do you have any other ideas? How big do Diamond and Cardinals grow? Thankyou!

In your case, I would go with a smaller tetra (cardinals are a good choice), because you are pushing it a little bit stocking-wise. Maybe cut out one of the gouramis to give yourself some more room. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Get both females to reduce fighting. They are just color morphs of the same fish, so getting two males, or even a male and female can cause alot of problems.
