i am buying a 240 litre tank,any ideas on gud fish for it want at least 3.?

Question

no oscars.

Answer 1

Here, for a community tank:

Mollies
Guppies
Barbs
Corydoras Catfish
Smaller gouramis
Danios

Or a coldwater tank:

About 4-6 goldfish (NO koi. That tank could only hold koi.)

Or Saltwater:

Two or three clownfish and a blue tang (nemo!)

Saltwater tanks are A LOT harder to mantain and keep. I'd recommend Tropical Community or Coldwater. Now, for tropicals, I'd get a heater, and with coldwater, a cooler.

PLEASE check these out. They are awesome.

And just to let you know, an oscar can't fit in that tank.

Forr tropical fish, I'd put 4-5 mollies in, 3 guppies, 4 corydoras catfish, 1 or 2 gold or blue gouramis, 5 barbs, and 2 danios. Put a maximum of 24 fish in there, prefferably 10-22. If I were you, I wouldn't always start out with many mollies and guppies though, because they breed VERY quickly. You could have it be a species tank, with only one type of fish in it. Oh, and with corydoras catfish, you need to buy special sinking pellets because they are bottom feeders. DO NOT just let them eat leftover food that sunk to the bottom of the tank. BUY SINKING PELLETS. And by the way, NO plecos!!! They get GIGANTIC. And do a 25% water change once a week. PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN!!!

Goldfish are very cool also. You could get comets and shubunkins, which aren't as pretty as fancy goldfish but are hardier and get bigger and do take up more tank space (I'd recommend 4 or 5 in your tank) or you could get fancy goldfish, which are prettier and don't take up much tank space but aren't as hardy and are prone to diseases and you can fit 5-6 in the tank. It's your choice. I'd pick comets if I were you.

I hope this helps.

Thank you!

EDIT: The fish mentioned in the answer above mine can't fit in your tank. DO NOT try it. Arowanas grow to two feet. NO, IT CAN'T FIT IN YOUR TANK!!!

Answer 2

ok, i'm jealous! i want a huge tank like that. lol not partial to the dyed fish... what they go by to get that way is undesirable.. in my opinion. i'd pick tetras, gourami's, some ottos and cories. Are you planning to have a planted tank? plants not in basic terms create a more effective good and quite tank, in addition they carry hiding places for fish which have aggression subject matters.. (breaking apart the line of sight) right this moment I have an section tank with a gourami's, blue, dwarf and gold. some serpa and black skirt tetras, couple guppies, one male Krib, and a smattering of puzzle snails. Its interesting to computer screen, no aggression subject matters, and lively. EDIT: I recommend smaller fish for a pair motives... First, with the college sizes you're able to have you ever quite get to confirm their education habit. more effective what they could be contained in the wild. also they are purifier, and a lot less complicated to look after.

Answer 3

Gouramis, especially Pearl Gouramis are really pretty. I'd add a school of tetras (maybe a couple of schools of different kinds) and some cories.

Or you could do a cichlid tank. You could do either African or Americans, but don't mix the two. Have fun.

Here's a picture of the Pearl Gourami:

Get oddballs like arawana, saratoga(Asian arowana),bichir, tiger shovelnose, lungfish,stingray, pantodon buchholzi,gars
