Answer 2

Red wag great community fish. There a highly attractive fish for any aquarium. You could get some mollies, platies or maybe even some tetra they have all different kinds of tetra like the phantom tetra. or maybe even some Barbs Just remember not to over crowd your tank. I put a link below that might help you with what can go with what. Have fun and good luck

Answer 3

If you have good filtration and do regular water changes you could add more fish - the one inch per gallon rule is rarely valid. But first, you should consider if your swords are mixed genders and might breed. If so, they could easily overpopulate your tank.

Another consideration is that most of the compatible species are schooling fish themselves, so you'd need to add a group of 3 or 6 depending on the species. Another case in which overpopulation might be likely.

Some additions you might consider would be a single dwarf gourami, otocinclus catfish (somewhat sensitive), a pair of African dwarf frogs, a few ghost shrimp, or an apple snail.

Answer 4

Nothing.
Adult size of sword tails is about 3 inches. The rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. So, 3 fish at 3 inches each is 9 inches. You want to be UNDER the limit for good health, so no more fish.

Answer 5

I would go with a small group of corydoras catfish. They have great personalities and are very friendly with everything.

Answer 6

platies, neons, any tetra, algae eater, etc.
