Most Peacful fish??

[threejjj]

What is the most peacful fish? I need a fish that can live with livebearer fry and not eat them? I need a fish in my fry tank so it wont kill all benificial bacteria.

:huh: why would you want to put another fish in with your fry anywayz? :huh:

So that when fry are not in the tank the tank stays cycled.

If you want to quickly cycle a tank for fry, get some media from your main tank and throw it in the 2ed tank.

i think i understand what you are saying. the thing is that almost everything eats fry. If you have the tank space i had luck with SAE's and livebearer fry

khuli or weather loaches or corydora or guppy

otocynclus catfish

If you just want to have an "instantly cycled" tank I'd suggest the method menitoned by Kasakato, though.

I think he means that the tank won't stay cycled when the fry are in there because they don't provide a large enough bioload.

Snails are great for fry tanks - they clean up all the little bits of leftover food, don't create a huge bioload (but enough to keep the filter bacteria happy) and are completely and utterly harmless to fry. Best of all, you can often get them for free or very inexpensively from your LFS - many plant tanks are teeming with ramshorns and they'll happily give you a few if you ask. If in the future you shut this tank down, snails can easily be transferred to another tank, where they'll eat algae and possibly provide a meal for other fish (if you have loaches).
