I've been wishing....
Once my tank is back to rights, I've been thinking about adding some more fish.
The Tank:
55G planted
Current occupants:
3 adult Angels (I've been thinking about trading one in)
7 Black Phantoms (6 juveniles 3/3; one adult male)
1 juvenile albino bushynose pleco
approx 6 ghost shrimp
1 Schwartzi Corydoras (I'm still waiting on the 6-8 extras that I have on order)
I was thinking of one or more schools of: rummynose tetras; Black Emperor Tetras; Cardinal tetras, or even Columbians. I like marble hatchets, too. I've had some before, but the last one commited suicide (or "ran away," as my brother used to say). Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on the numbers/content/composition for this tank, or something I haven't listed; or where to/how to go about getting them? I hesitate to order online because you can't inspect the individual fish, and shipping costs are outrageous! I might be able to special-order through Petco (Petsmart doesn't do this), like I've done for my cories. I'm going there, probably on Wednesday, to pick up my TFH magazine, and check on if they've heard anything about my cories. I'd like to get some more of the Schwartzis, but Petco isn't able to order that specific type--the one I have now came in with a group of "assorted cories". I have a list of desirables that I'm going to check with them about, to see what they can get, and what the prices are for each of them. I don't like the "common" ones because they blend in with the substrate too much, and I'd rather not get albinos.
I don't want to overcrowd the tank, but I would like a "couple" more fish.
