Hello,
Just wanting to post a stocking idea and get some feedback as I always like to check what others think as well as research. I have a 50 gal heavily planted aquarium that currently has a single albino bristlenose pleco in it (juvenile currently) and 3 black neons(leaving in a few days as I saved them from a previous tank for a family member) and I am planning a semi aggressive stocking for the tank. My plan currently is to keep the bristlenose and get 6 tiger barbs, 6 serape tetra, and a rainbow shark. What other larger non schooling semi aggressive fish would you suggest and has anyone had experience with the combo of the tiger barbs and serape tetras. And with the bristlenose bieng pretty small (about an inch) is there any danger of him getting picked on before he’s large enough to hold his own. This tank is cycled and has been for 2-3 months so the plants and bacteria are established.
