7 gallon hex eclips: 3 neons, 3 tetras, 1 tiger barb, 1 alge eater, does 3 count as a school?

 

[twoluvcats]

nope, too many different schooling fish and not big enough schools. I'd say go with 6 of EITHER the neons (neons ARE tetras) or the tiger barbs...and what kind of 'algae eater' were you thinking of??

 

[Limi310]

I would ditch the tiger barb. They like to be in groups and they can be nippy to other fish.....especially if there is only 1.

 

[Limi310]

I also agree with what twoluvcats said above.

 

[lee1nonly]

what kind of alge eater would you recomend

 

[lee1nonly]

wich fish are schooling fish

 

[lee1nonly]

what fish are schooling fish

you say teteas are neons? are there diffrent kinds? are tiger barbs good for 7 gallon hex

 

[twoluvcats]

tetras (neons are a type of tetra), and barbs are schooling fish.

Otos are good alage eaters that stay small...but the NEED an established tank to go into or they'll die quickly. Alage eaters are not 'required' in a tank, so your tank will be fine without one at first.

Ideally no, but 6 can fit..specialy if you lube the tank up a bit.

Sorry bad joke.

They will fit, but push your bioload to the max, and really prefer more room.

 

[cybersymes]

totally agree with all posts above...

your tank sounds like a betta/snail paradise...
and get a bigger one for schooling fishies...

i would recomend a corry cat

 

[twoluvcats]

cories like to be in groups...minimum 3, best 6...so she'd be pressed for room to fit enough of them in there.
