Hi,
I am getting a new tank I am not sure yet if it will be 90 or 125 gallons.
The fish I most want to include is an elephant nose fish.
Out of these others - which ones and how many should I include:
Clown Loach (Botia macracantha)
Burmese Border Loach
Various livebearers:
Mickey Mouse Platys and other platys (Xiphophorus maculatus)
Red Dalmatian Lyretail Molly
Cremsicle Molly
Chocolate Cream Balloon Lyretail Molly
Silver Mollys
Dalmatian Mollys
Silver-streak Flamingo Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Blonde-Tux Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
Lyretail Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Pleco/Catfish/Cory: - which one of these should I pick if any?
Queen-Arabesque Pleco (Hypancistrus sp.)
King Tiger pleco
Bushy-nose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.)
Royal Pleco – only in a glass tank (it can scratch acrylic and not good with other plecos sometimes)
Marble Sailfin Pleco
Zebra Pleco
Albina Pleco
Oil Catfish
Jaguar Catfish
Royal Farlowella Cat (Sturistoma sp.)
Brochis Cory Cat (Brochis multiradiatus)
Albino Aeneus Cory Cat (Corydoras aeneus)
Tetras:
Neon tetras
Congo tetras
Blind cave fish Astyanax fasciatus mexicanus
White Skirt tetra
Silver Dollar
Bleeding Heart
Thanks for any help!
Also if anyone is familiar with elephant nose fish - how large a tank would one need to have the recommended group of six fish? Maybe 250-280 gallons? And has anyone actually kept a group of elephant nose fish - how did it work out?
