Stocking and getting along for my new 580 liter

580 litre show tank

Pic of my upgrade

 

Nice man how about a new photo? I would personally increase all the tetras to a around 8 of each type 8-10 neons 10 red eyes, most tetras are schooling fish and do better in groups of 6 or more.

Just increase your existing groups and you will be sorted.

HTH.

 

Thanks gonna try that;-). I last pic I added is recent. Took that pic on Tuesday. Have a good day everyone

 

Sweeet I really do think that will be your best bet, try and get some vallis or spiral vallis it will grow huge in the deep tank.

Enjoy and keep the pics coming.

 

Like your selection.

You can certainly have a look at corydoras for something "busy" on the bottom of the tank. My personal favorite are the Corydora Sterbai. They also swim in a school across the front of the tank, stunning display.

I found Galaxy Rasbora a wonderful addition to my tank. They are a bit shy at first but a pleasure to behold once they are swimming around the tank.

I love the variety that guppies comes in. You can always add a lot more of those. I keep only males and they do fine without females. If you add more of the different types of schooling fish that you've got it should also create a more visible effect. I've also got a "strange" tank although much smaller than yours and it's sometimes a bit hard to spot the fish in there! Colour helps a lot!

What I also found to add a lot of character and colour to my tank is Betta Females. Not as "stunning" as their male counterparts, but you are able to keep them in a community setup and find them in various different colours. I've got mine with Guppies, Platy and Neons, no problem.

 

My neck was getting sore.

that looks like a serious armpit wetter :bigsmile: Lovely looking tank though.

If those plants fill in it is going to look great, you will need a kak load of light to get that far down. If it was mine I would toss some Malawis in there........but thats just me.

 

might want to reconsider the pleco, assuming its the common pleco, those guys grow into monsters and produce waste like a truck stop bathroom

 

@fowy28

How about an update?

 

Thanks my fish loving friends, I got some corrys and increased the schools but daily finding one of the small schooling fish dead and almost completely devoured! Help pls:weird:

Devoured? Ouch!

Sorry about your loss

 

Thank u

 

@fowy28 Sounds like a very frustrating situation If you'd like you can post a thread in the diseases section and fill out the disease questionnaire so we can try help you get to the bottom of this. Don't worry if you don't have all the info right now, just give us as much as you can and let's see if we can help.

Identifying Disease Questionnaire

 

Hi all, turns out it was the rainbow shark. I gave him back to petshop and all seems peaceful and no more fish loss. Last fish died this morning. Poor clown loach he bit a hole in, so fingers crossed I think there will be no more losses.
