Ok. I'm the guy with the 30g tank and 12 fish! :O
I know I am pushing the "/g rule. These are the fish that came with the purchase of the tank. The water perameters always read perfect, water changes every two week. NO3 never gets over 20ppm.
1 AngelFish ~ 4". This guy is old. Mature. Must keep.
1 Redtail Black Shark ~ 4" Must Keep
1 Common Pleco ~ 8" long (Must go, need to convince the boss)
2 Tiger Barbs ~ 2" (Schools with the CL) Must Keep
1 Clown Loach ~ 3.5" (Schools with the TB's) Must Keep
1 Red Betta ~ 3.5" Must keep.
1 Rosy Barb ~ 1.5"
1 Swordtail/Platty whatever it is.. ~ 1.5"
1 Rasbora ~ 1.5"
1 Zebra Danio ~ 1.5"
1 Neon Tetra ~ 1"
So, five fish are being considered for exchange. (besides the pleco.. seperate issue) Rosy Barb, Swordtail, Rasbora, Danio, Neon
The goal is to pick a good schooling fish, and return the other 4 fish, 5 fish if other than what we have.
I'm looking for suggestions for a good schooling fish. Danio's, Neon's, Rasbora's, other?
I'm leaning towards the Neons as those stay small, and would help my "/g situation. Although the Rasbora's are neat too. The danio is super active, and can imagine having 3-5 of those swimming would be kewl.
I don't want to split up the TB's and CL as they've bonded together, and spliting them up might make the other become more agressive. + The clown loach is my screenname. I can't lose him.
Wife loves all the fish, but has commented 1000's of times how the betta and AF are hers.. No way they will be leaving the tank.
The Shark is too kewl to take out of the tank. I do worry about the potential "shyness" of the neon school and they may not do well with the RTBS.
Currently the tank community is very non-agressive. Only the RTBS will chase fish (never bites..) Never any ripped/torn fish tails. Very little/no plant nippings/eating. None of the fish get picked on.
Oh. Do all mature TB's look like YUCK??
Oh, and everything must be approved by the boss.
