Stocking 135

calvinxx · 08-16-2007, 07:19 PM

So, I have a 135 gallon tank and i have two small clown loaches and a ver small chinese algae eater. There is also a Betta in it right now but it can be moved. I kinda want a group of fish, like not just one or two like maybe 4, 5, or 6 or a certain kind of fish. Any suggestions?

It really depends on what your certain taste in fish is.

Silver dollars, discus, needlenose fish, angelfish, etc. are all medium sized schoolers. Really, I would add about 3 more clown loaches to go with what you have already first.

Well, you could also go with Asian species Tank. Barbs, Loaches, and Goruami.

Rainbowfish !
I'd go with two shoals - probably one of dwarf rainbows ("praecox" rainbows) and one of the "common" Aussie 'bows (Melanotaenia splendida ) - each about 6-8 fish.

silver dollars, more loaches, firemouths, needlefish?, rainbows, etc.

Could I put a school of neon tetras and some rainbows?

Clerk · 08-17-2007, 01:36 PM

You could, but due to the size of neons, many other fish would be ruled out.

you could have a school of neons,angelfish,rams, loaches, raoinbowfish, and harlaquin rasboras

Angelfish only school when they are young. When the grow up they divide the tank into territories.
