Howdy all,

I found the link to this page in an aquarium magazine. And since I am just in the process of setting up a 210 gal tank, I thought I'd swing by and check it out. I like it here, so I registered :D

Here's my problem: I wanted a big freshwater tank, planted. Now it's hard to find fish. They have to a) not eat my plants and b) not eat my blue guramis. I thought maybe some of you have good suggestions.

BTW: Please check out my post regarding the stand for my tank in the "General Aquarium" --> "Setup" Forum.

Thanks,

HarleyK
 
welcome to mfk, why wont you get some community fish to go along with your gouramis.

Welcome to MFK :grinno: You could do small schools of some sort of tetras(cardnial,rummy nosed,bleeding hearts,thier a good dithier fish in larger groups.) 20 to 25 of them,another 10 to 12 corys of some sort,maybe 6 or 7 flying foxes,a couple of blue acara and maybe some freshwater shrimp.Danios would work to but for the money id get the tetras.all these should be easy to find and be safe with your plants.Sounds like youll have a sweet tank wen its all set up, please post some pics.let me know if you need anymore suggestion or info. :thumbsup:
 
Howdy I3u11he4d,

I see you have a guinea pig. Got one, too. :thumbsup:
How big is your tank?
