Starting all over

HI

Due to me not getting my tank sold, I unfortunately\fortunately have to sell all my current fish and redo my tank with herbivorous fish(is that a correct term?). So I would like some suggestions on how many and what type of fish will make a great community in my tank(see signature for size.)

ThanK you

 

Types of fish is totally personal taste but you must keep in mind the compatibility. Also you need, bottom, middel and surface swimmers/feeders

Bottom. Corydoras catfish or the Bristlenose
Mid. Danios, Neon, platty, barbs(in school of 6+)
Top. Swordtails, pearl gouramies.

 

True, thank you for the reply, If I am not mistaking the fish in you avatar is Kribensis...? How are their compatibility in a community, my idea is to create a very colourful community and also natural plants, I dont know much about plants so there I will like some ideas.

Thankyou again

 

i totally love them. I have 4(2pairs) in my 1200L community tank and they breed lekker. keep just a small teritory and do chase the rest away. But had no victims. Let me give yopu a break down of my tank.

Lets see.....
4 Kribs.........(+12 fry in seperate tank)
2 algae eaters
2 Kuhli loaches
5 Black Neons
12 Seprae tetras
1 Panda corry
1 Peppered Corry
2 small angels
2 green barbs
3 swordtails
4 platties
4 guppies
1 fire tetra
10 harlequins
5 blue line tetras
1 siamese fighter
3 pearl gouramies
2 rummynoses
4 rosy barbs
10 glowlight tetras
10 red eye tetra
4 snails

 

will all those fit into a 420 liter tank?

 

The fish Go-Big mentioned are not fish that grow big, but I will rather scale down a little bit and put half of those fish in your tank. With all the fish he mentioned I can believe that it's an incredibly colourfull display. In your tank you can introduce a lot of small fish, but remember that they need space to swim and that your water needs to be well oxygenated to house all of them.

Good luck Jodyc. Keep us updated.

Will do indeed

 

The list of fishes i mentioned is what i have in a 1200L tank and it works. Obviously it must be scaled down for a 420L. And yes very colourfull and a joy to watch.
