BT Fish Guy asked in PetsFish · 6 years ago

Need help with some stocking ideas ☺️🐟?

Hey everyone! So I have a 30 gallon tank with 5 golden cloud minnows, 5 neon tetras. What else should I add?? The tank is cycled and everything's in good health! I don't want live barers or what ever... And I want kind of small fish... Soo like I might like some more tetras but a different breed of them and possible smaller fish that will dont have to be in *huge groups*. Thanks guys!! ::)

Update:

I wanted to also say that I have seen candy cane tetras!!! And I think they are beautiful! Dose anyone have experience with them, and would they be nippy towards my other fish

    I have a 29 gallon with neon tetras, white cloud mountain minnows, and black skirt tetras.

    So I'd definitely recommend skirt tetras, they add a lot of contrast to the tank.

    Or you could get 5 cory catfish or 5 otocinclus and snails or shrimp (the snails and shrimp don't have a big bio-load so they can be added along with another school of 5 fish.)

    Definetly danois. It depends what fish you really want to keep, but danios are very compatable. You should also add algae eaters. And I recommend gouramis.
