Answer 1

you have a similar set up to me except i have 2 kissing gouramis,i think you should wait a while and in some of the answers they say some of your fish grow large,my angels are full size and my gouramis wont grow any bigger,i like the look of sword tails and silver sharks but they can be aggressive and attack others but one of my friends keep these and they get along fine.
how about adding more mollies to the tank,i would check out a aquatic shop and see what they have and make your decision from there good luck

Answer 2

First of all, you need to get rid of the Clown Loaches. They require schools of 5+ to feel secure and they will also grow to be a foot long (each). If you don't know how to convert (directed towards answerers), 250 liters is 66 U.S. gallons. Clown Loaches need 125 U.S. gallons, so more than 500 liters. Replace the Clown Loaches with 5+ Yo-yo Loaches, they look similar, but they stay 4-6 inches long. They are very active and fun to watch as they swim through decorations and weave through other fish. To the next problem, the Kissing Gouramis will each get 8-10 inches long, 4 of them is too many for your tank... Get rid of 2 Kissing Gouramis, and replace them with a large school of Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Swordtails, or Killifish. The Killifish and Danios will provide a good fish to stay at the top of your tank. Keep about 7 of them together. Also, the Pleco will get 2 feet long and likely, you will want to get rid of it too. Before attempting to add more fish, to avoid another disaster like you have now, research each fish before you buy them... Good luck!

Answer 3

With our standards that is a 66 gallon tank
Seems like you have a great size of a tank, when you check out the following links you will see that you have all your fish in the perfect tank size.

You might want to add a couple of cory cats (bottom feeder), a couple more angelfish and a couple more dwarf gouramis, or you might want to add another school like neon tetras or zebra danios



Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 4

not if you want any fish left, and a two foot tank is not going to be big enough, you have to take into account the fact that the size of tank has to fit in a heater not a fish water heater as turtles can bite these and break them, you also need a good filter and a basking spot with lamp on a dry area so this will reduce the space for the turtle, also a two foot tank will not be big enough for a growing turtle, the turtle is likely to eat your fish as well so it is not advised, best of luck honey

Answer 5

nothing, you have alot of fishes that might be small now, but have massive potiental grow size.

Certainly clown loaches are probably small, but they have slow growth rates, but they will grow massive.

Kissing gouramies will top out at a foot to 15 inches. Angelfish will grow big and requrire a high tank in order to fully develop.

And a common pleco needs over 100 gallons.

So as of now your full and the fishes will grow.

Answer 6

Cory cats will assist the loaches in cleaning the bottom. You could also add some shrimp to assist in bottom cleaning. Lemon tetras will fit in nicely with your fish selection. But it all depends on what you like and if it's compatible or not.

Answer 7

Neon Tetra's and any other species of tetras are good in numbers of 6 or more. I find the zebra danios are also a good tank mate, and i think are the best out of all the danio species

Answer 8

well I would get a few Corydoras catfish (there are loads of sub-species) they are very peaceful bottom dwellers and we have in our tanks Peppered Corys, Panda Corys and a couple of other who I can't remember what type they are.

Answer 9

be careful when adding new fish. in my experience new fish can bring in problems. disease. fighting. etc. guppies are good. quite nice colours , non aggresive.breed like mad.but lovely to look at.

Answer 10

I love black phantom tetras and sepia tetras. they are easy to keep and like mature water so should fit in well.
