    Wow.. Almost lost my breath there trying to write it all in the tittle..
    Hey guys,
    First I'd like to flatter this site for having such in-depth database.
    I never thought that in one place I could get enough info!

    Now, I've been contemplating as to the fish that would inhabit my tank:
    240L High-Tech, planted tank, 1.20M long.
    P.H is around 7.0-7.2. Temp is high on summer (28C) but in winter it's adjustable of course.
    I've done some heavy research over that last day. I read all there is to know on these fish over the different profiles available at fish data bases.
    Matters taken into accounts:
    Sizes (resemble), swimming area (tried to differ with each fish), behavior and water measurements, and food resource competition.
    The fish:
    Trigonostigma espei - Espe's Rasbora
    A school of at least 6

    silvertip Tetra
    A school of at least 6 but wouldn't outnumber any othe other schools

    Green Neon Tetra
    A school of at least 6 but more that SilverTip obviously.
    These guys seem to me like the spoiled ones. They seem demanding form what I've read: good water parameters, enough food. Tough I tried to pick other fish that'd be the same size, I'm afraid these guys would act timidly..

    And to top it all, I'm thinking of adding a few Rainbow fish – either boesemani or MacCulloch's Rainbowfish.
    I'm willing to let-go of the Rainbow fish idea though it's very seducing..

    What do you think?
    Any experience with any of these species combined?

    Thanks ranmasatome,
    Are you aware of any illnesses or nature to be prone to any illnesses?
    I've been told by a local retailer that the Epsei is prone to internal issues..


    And how many of each fish would you put in a 240L Planted tank?
