Yesterday I went for a visit to Wharf Aquatics in Pinxton who have a huge selection of tropical fish. They had some lovely male golden rams and I couldn't resist purchasing one. I didn't want two males so ended up with a female from another breeder. She isn't as attractive but figured I'd rather have a peaceful tank than one fish constantly getting bullied. I was set on getting some Harlequin Rasboras but decided I wanted something different. Ended up with 10 Black Phantom Tetras who so far seem to be rather active and have made the Cardinals more confident.
Many people only seem to have two types of shoaling fish. I'm tempted to add a third in a few weeks rather than upping the numbers of the current breeds. Any problems adding 10-15 rummy nose tetras?
Current stock list:
18 Cardinal Tetras
10 Black Phantom Tetras
2 Golden Rams
20 Amano Shrimp
32 Cherry Shrimp (although some are pregnant)
I've also added a new Buce around the large rock which I think softens the harsh lines. I gave the Trident Fern that was struggling a huge haircut, hoping it will bounce back. The other fern is doing very well.
