33G Stocking

[Ripley]

Hey guys,

Yep, groan, ANOTHER stocking post!! I'm not a total noobie, so hopefully mine won't be completely out of line.

So, as per my signature, I currently have:
1 Spotted Climbing Perch (who should mature to be about 6 inches, and are typically non-aggressive, but will eat small fish)
2 Honey Gourami's
2 Dwarf Platies

The gourami's and platies are leftovers from the way I had my tank before, and if they're still around when Spot gets big enough to eat them, I will find someplace else to keep them. Right now, as Spot is only about 1.5 inches long, they're quite safe - and they get along wonderfully.

Anyway, as I'm sure you noticed, this tank is quite empty at the moment! I tried putting my danios in with Spot, but they're a bit too frantic for him, and he went into total hiding - so really fast moving fish are out, at least until he gets a bit bigger.

I'm not really into the oddball/crazy type fish, and seeing as how it's a 33 gallon right now, that doesn't leave much room. But, if I have my way, the tank will be upgraded to something like a 55 or 75 gallon.

I had thought about maybe a pair or two of Kribs, and/or a trio of Pearl Gourami's...

So... Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Pearls get pretty big too, fine for a 55 or 75g though. anytime anyone suggests kribs or apistos as an option they will always get a thumbs up from me. Love em both! as long as they have their own cave and some hiding spots they make great pets

Kribs are the way to go! They're easy to breed and interesting fish!
