What fish for a 6 feet tank?

**gchoo** · 27th Jul 2005, 14:39

Could anyone suggest any fish sp for a 6 feet planted? Somthing which is schooling...

**budak** · 27th Jul 2005, 14:41

School of Systomus banksi.

**juggler** · 27th Jul 2005, 15:53

How about Harlequin Rasbora or Rummy Nose Tetra?
Not expensive ...

Harlequins are mid-level schoolers. Rummy Nose tend to school nearer the bottom.

How about red line topedoe barb? They are in season now I think. They school very well.

**|squee|** · 27th Jul 2005, 16:38

Rasbora trilineata?

**mordrake** · 27th Jul 2005, 16:59

how about altums or wild discus? a shoal of cories too

**gchoo** · 27th Jul 2005, 19:37

Thanks for the suggestions... i think barbs and carps are out of question... I need to make sure that they dun eat my plants...

**ranmasatome** · 28th Jul 2005, 01:58

barbs eat plants meh?? not all right?

**anttz** · 28th Jul 2005, 08:55

How about bleeding heart tetra

**gchoo** · 28th Jul 2005, 09:57

I dunno whether all barbs eat plants anot.. but better be safe and sorry... will have a problem getting them out ...

Last time Gan was selling the diamond-back bleeding heart tetra... anybody know where to find these?

**hwchoy** · 28th Jul 2005, 10:16

never put this Abramites hypselonotus in a planted tank

**benny** · 28th Jul 2005, 10:56

Don't eat plants....

How about 200 pieces of Corydoras pygmaeus?

Cheers,

**Enda** · 28th Jul 2005, 11:46

Lots of Channa gachua. They don't school.... but they don't eat plants.

**gchoo** · 28th Jul 2005, 19:15

corydoras? thanks benny... you sure they dont eat the blades of the leaves?

**budak** · 28th Jul 2005, 20:28

gchoo, go get the new Barilius from Gratiola...

**lorba** · 28th Jul 2005, 22:53

try harlequin, cardinals, six banded barbs. Anyway tetras, rasbora or barbs. As long as not too many, they will school well.

Marcus,

The new Barilius are settling well. Colour coming out

Great schoolers (Gchoo come have a look)

We wait for Choy or Vincent Tan to give the scientific name

I have 8 tin-foil barbs, about 1ft each. Schools great! they swim in a line like MRT, then sometime chase each other's tail

I thought it is Barilius bakeri? if possible keep one pair for me till I clear those channas

**TanVincent** · 31st Jul 2005, 14:13

Well, Barillius bakeri it is.

You also try Inlecypris auropurpureus , Mr Choy's personal favourite.
