Hi all, I've come here in need of some help with my new RTBS *Red-Tail Black Shark*
Tank:
Rio300
300litres
80US gallons
Current Stock:
1 RTBS
2 Kuhli Loach
10 Guppies *Trying to rehome*
2 Three-Line Corydoras *One's dying
*
1 Black Peru Corydoras
1 Zebra Danio
3 Otto's
Right so basically I will only get new fish when the guppies have gone and when the 1 cory has gone
Must get fish:
9 Three-Line Corydoras
4 Black Peru Corydoras *If my wallet can stretch for the price tag!*
Now I just need to think of the main attraction fish that isn't too big to eat the cory's and kuhli loach, but big enough to keep the RTBS in check and look good in a tank that size.
The list of fish I have considered:
Silver Dollars
Firemouths
[Open to suggestions]
One thing I want to stay clear of, are Danio's.
Also I have thought of Denisonii Barb, but those will come when I have no fish atall in the 300 and can re-scape to their needs.
Expected Stock List at end:
1 RTBS
2-3 Kuhli Loach
10 Three-Line Corydoras
4 Black Peru Corydoras*
3 Otto's
[The undecided fish]
So let the ideas flow in.
Thanks!

Firemouths will simply gobble the danios, loaches and otos. As for the undecided fish, choose the angelfish. They are pretty to look at but you need to research further as most strains such as DD blacks are very fragile. Koi, zebra, marble and golds are very hardy strains which you can give a try.
