Advice wanted :)

Hi all well my new tank has been going for a couple weeks now , with my new cory Cats setlling in well , only 2 of em and my 4 guppies all very peaceful in their tank. so i was wondering what should be kind of my last fish species to add to the tank which is 60 L?? any advice ?

 

Hi @KennyG, Have you had a look at Dwarf Gourami's? And maybe a Betta?

 

Add some more cory cats. They are social fish. A group of 5 or more does well. Try and get the same type.

 

I would add some more cory cats. They are gregarious, which means they like company. A group of 5 should be minimum. They will be much happier which will make you much happier...lol...

As for other fish:
Honey Gouramis do very well in a smallish tank. They are much more peaceful than dwarf Gouramis, and they stay small (up to 50mm). You may struggle to find the original color strain, but the Red Robin and Albino color varieties are quite common. They move through all levels of the tank. If you do decide on these get at least 3, distributes any aggression.
I would try to stay away from tetras, as most of them are schooling species which means you need at least 6-8 to keep them happy.
Betta's would probably fight with the guppies, because they're fin designs are so similar.

 

yea probably should get a couple more friends , think i should make an order at the pet stop cause peppered corys are not easy to find in my area and im sure they will also have Dwarf gouramis

 

Think you must go check out firts what fish you like and get your own idea, then ask advice on your idea. this way its more of your tank and not what everybody likes tank if you know what i mean

 

Agree, If you have an Idea of what you are looking for, post it to get some advise.

 

I agree with Ryno but having said that once you decide on what you want there are "rules" to follow. For example buying 10 species of schooling fish but only buying 2 fish of each species is not a good idea. You need to consider what needs your fish have as well.

 

A nice social but peaceful fish to look at will be Threadfin Rainbows and Rummy Nose Tetras. They don't get too big and they are also nice and social which is really cool.
