southeast asian aquarium

[aduplapersonalidadedoraul]

Hi all.. i'll get a new 15 G aquarium and i would like some sugestions for stocking, since i want to create a southeast asian biotope.

I would like to have 7 tiger barbs and i would like to have some other cool exotic fish.

Sugestions needed...

Hi,

I would personally just remove the tiger barbs from the plan. A 15g will not have adequate space for them to swim around and they tend to become more erratic when deprived of adequate space and nip anyone in their path. You still have an option to try cherry barbs or Barbus pentazona. Pick either of the two. Then try adding 6 zebra danios, pearl danios, leopard danios or white cloud mountain minnows. As for bottom level, kuhli loaches will work exceptionally well. A pair of honey gouramis may also be included especially if you can provide them floating plants where they prefer to dwell mostly.

Hope this helps.
