8 Glass Catfish (Asian Variety)
4 Botia Histrionica
OK, to reorganize my questions in a more coherent manner:
1. Will the moonlight gourami being twice the size of the tiger barbs daunt the barbs?
2. Will the tiger barbs ignore the catfish?
3. What other (ASIAN) centrepiece fish would you recommend instead of the moonlight? Do not say three spot gourami, they're not an option.
When you reply, please keep in mind that I do intend to have this tank fully planted and there will be caves for hiding places, so the gourami will have a place to hide if there is initially too much aggression.
Thank you!  |
I have the following stock in a 72 gallon tank with no issues (lest two gouramis that have kicked the bucket, but I suspect crappy stock as almost all of the fish I bought from petco in this batch have had issues).
6 Blue Gourami
4 Pearl Gourami
1 Pink Kissing Gourami
4 Tiger Barbs (small still)
3 Rosy Barbs
3 Sunfire Burst Platies
3 Blue Sunrise Platies
4 Cory Cats
2 Siamese Algae Eaters
2 Farowella Plecostomous
8 Danios (mixed variety)
I have Rosy Barbs with all of these in 80 degrees and they're vital and fun.
