I don't know what is a slimesucker. Swordtails are OK too. Except for that unknown, they're good for such a tank in my opinion. But... once they breed, you'll have to give or sell the newborns once they are 2-3 months old. Otherwise there will be too much of nitratres, nitrites, in your aquarium.... Livebearers usually produce plenty of excrements. Good luck! jan 2009-02-01 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=are-these-good-begginer-fish#3 Loads of babies if you add that lot together, as Jan has posted make sure you have somewhere to move the fry on to in the future. I have never heard of a slimesucker either mickey 2009-02-02 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=are-these-good-begginer-fish#4 By slime sucker im sure you mean pleco's and they have a wide variety glowlighttetra 2009-07-19
