what are some good community fishes for a big tank..?? i dont want guppies or swordtails... not too common fishes.. i want fish that exhibits social behavior , brightly coloured and attractive.. what are your suggestions..
German blue or Bolivian rams are really cool social fish I prefer the German blues but they both have fairly similar behaviour, my giant danios was always really cool when feeding and very very active but idk if they would mix with rams? Denison barbs are really cool, pictus catfish are really good in a group of 3+ but they will eat very small fish like neon tetras, synodontis petricola are nice as well they prefer slightly higher ph but if you get them locally or drip acclimatise you should be ok. There is so many you are better of posting what you want and asking if they are comparable.
I have never kept them but I think they are peaceful so you could keep most stuff with them as long as the water and temp requirements are the same, but hopefully someone with a bit of hands on experience with them can tell you more
i would love to get african cichilds.. bt where im from there is only 2 or 3 small local fish stores... most of the time there are no good fish to choose from..
