Are these fishes compatible?

[ChilDawg]

I agree.

i say blame it entirely on me if it goes perfect and entirely in chilli if it goes bad!!

demon_surfer, I guess you may have seen my other thread I started - I am trying to learn how to take good pictures... I produce so many blurry ones even though the camera is ok...

I'm working on posting my first picture soon...

In any case, you don't want to see a picture of a tank with only platies and ottos and a ball of java moss... (I just added a pair of otto today, they seem to be behaving ok so far...). May be in a month, it might look alot better...

 

[ChilDawg]

Don't let him take too much credit if it works...

 

[demon_surfer]

lol

for a 25 gallon, a few rasboras, ottos, and panda corries seem good to me. have fun and good luck,

I have a 38 g tank with similar occupants (cories, rasboras, otos and rams; no tetras) and can confirm that rams aren't always peaceful. My male ram is quite aggressive--tore the female's tailfin and even butts the cories (which tend to ignore him).

how bout this line up for a 29 gal?

5 lemon tetra
5 black neon tetra
5 albino or panda cories
1 banjo cat
1 kuhli loach
1 rainbow shark (i know this guy can get a bit aggresive but i thought hed be agood center piece. if anyone knows of another flashy solo type fish that would work well with the others please give me an option!)
i was thinkin 5 barbs instead of one of the little schools of tetra but i read that the tigers i was lookin at were little bullies so i dont think ill get those. mabye theres another nicely vibrant peacefull barb i could use in place of some of the tetra.

also will 2 differant types of tetra school together?

Rich, would you please just start a new thread rather than hijack yhbae's?

Well, I can always chicken out at the last moment and get a pair of Pearl Gouramies...

Does it help if I get small ones, and add it last to the tank? (Rams that is...)
