> What do you think of my selection of river fish community?
Hi, I am a beginner Aquarium. I did research in a lot of fish have been two previous questions have not yet reached a fixed selection. This Once I am sure that this choice is great ... My choice is ..... -4 White Cloud Minnnow -4 Dwarf Otocinclus Catfish -6 Cardinal Tetra -3 Ghost Shrimp -6 kuhlii Loches (better known as Coolie loach) This is my selection for a community tank of tropical fish freshwater.> Questions <-gallon fish tank I Do I need to keep all fish? - What are the fish of these boot?
I hate the word "fish seed" because I think that all fish must be placed in a tank full of bikes .... but if you are cycling with fish, then turn off the list I would like to cycle with white clouds. Note that the cycle can not survive and that their lives will be less than average due to exposure to ammonia and nitrites. Beyond that, the rest of the setup sounds good. All fish should be well together. Someone mentioned shrimp prey on other fish, it will not happen with the ghosts. First themselves are quite small. My specialty is not much bigger than my neon tetras, and once they have never seen so much as a sign assault by a ghost shrimp. The shrimp and otos are both a little on the tricky part as regards the conditions of water - to save me two for the final. Beyond this, otos need a good seaweed in the tank to be happy. Perhaps to supplement their diet, but I think they are very demanding when it comes to commercial foods. They eat a lot happier on the growth of algae, so we have make my lights off the tank on a regular basis to keep algae growth under way. Never having long term algae, but I want to make sure the decorations, etc. that some growing. Live plants will also improve your tank. The otos can chew on them from time time, but in general are not real destructive. I'm not positive your size tank, but I would not recommend anything less than 30 gallons. And above all, bigger is better when it comes to aquariums. If you do not buy anything, and be able to go large 30 gallon - go ahead. Good luck:)
