I have been working on a list of fish I would like to put into my tank over a period of time (not necessarily in this order) and am hoping someone can check if they will be fine together. I have based my choice on a few things including size, preferred area of tank, PH, Temp, Max size and whether they are best in groups (single, pair, shoal etc) My tank info i listed in my signature and i'll be adding a few plants and obstacles/ornaments/hideaways. obviously I dont want to overcrowd the tank and am basing qty's on 1 inch per gallon of water. Here Goes: 3 or 4 Zebra Danio 2 Ram Cichlid or Kribensis 1 Red Tailed or Rainbow Shark 1 red line torpedo barb 1 Siamese Fighter if there is any advice with choice can you let me know as I have been racking my brains on what to get Thanks Kev kevin82 2009-03-06 Answer no. 1 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=tank-plan-help-with-fish-please#2 Hi Kev and welcome to the forum. Nice to see you have researched. I would go for the kribensis as rams need a mature tank and can be difficult to keep long term. Everything else looks fine to me. I must admit I am more of a tetra fan than danios but that is personal choice mickey 2009-03-06
