Hello All,

Im setting up a 65 gallon aquarium tomorrow, and would like some advice
on the types of tropical fish that you all have had experience with.

I would like to have a variaty of fish, and just not one particular species.

Im finding that convicts are really agressive towards eachother...or is that just
cichlids in general.

I would like to go with the more peaceful tropical...but have a few different
types.

Does anyone have any recomendations of what type of tropical fish work
well together in a 65?

Any help would be great!!!!

Thanks.

Ryan
 
Clown loaches are great, and will leave most fish alone.
 
Piranha :D Oh sorry..
 
Gouramis work well if the tank is planted and also some tetras such as the congo tetra.
 
Welcome to MFK,

First: If you set up the tank now, you still have several days to contemplate your stocking list. Start with just a few hardy fish, increase the number slowly in order to allow beneficial bacteria to colonize your tank/filter. You can speed things up by using old filter media from one of your other tanks.

Second: If you are interested in small peaceful fish, you may want to also check out our sister site www.AquariaCentral.com They are more focused on non-/\/\onsters.

Have you thought about a couple of schools of tetras with corydoras as clean-up crew? That's a classic.

Corydorus, tetras, rasdbora, plecos, loaches, barbs (some are a bit nippy), danios, glassfish, rams, worlds your oyster mate. What Harley said was right though
 
When i had my 65 gal ,i had tin foil barb,parrot ,severn green,2 clown loach,2 hi fin pleco,geo jupari all got along great,all are now in 110 gal....good luck
 
danios are pretty hardy and active. also some of the smaller tetras i.e. rummynose, glowlite

They get a little big (12+ inches) for a 65 gallon.
