Looks cool! Some more plants and wood would definitely finish it off.

Have you thought about adding some more harlequins and tetras? They'd be much happier and shoal really nicely in groups of 6 or more.

As others have said i would up the tetra and rasbora. i would go for 8 of each and add a group of a group of 10 corys
or 2 bns
or a few small synos

Thank You Everyone!! Very Happy

Yep, that's a deffo on more Tetras and H. Raspboras.
The only problem is... Spaz loves to bully them now if they are in his way, he lets them know it Shocked

I've thought about bn's how many can I have in there with a pleco?

by **kizno1** on Tue May 11, 2010 5:46 pm

The more there are the more his agression will be spread out so less likely to get hurt.
sorry i didnt see you alredy had a plec 1 more bn should be fine maby 2 at a push. i personally would add another clown plec or 2 instead. If you do get a BN then make sure you get some wood because they need it.

What LPH is your filter?

by **OceanMaria** on Tue May 11, 2010 11:17 pm

kizno1..What is lph? Liters per hour?
Im in the states n go by gallons.

my filter does 200/GPH which is 757/LPH
my tank is 26 gallons which is about 98 liters

I hope thats what you meant, if not confused01

Oh and I don't have a clown pleco yet! This weekend I should if everything goes right. Smile

When i got my first betta, i put him in with tetras in a big group but still he would bully them and single them out. I noticed he would bully them by trying to eat their eyes, then kill them!
I hope you have more luck than i did. Very Happy

i would add another small filter at the other end of the tank that does about 300+ LPH then the clown and a bn should be fine :]
