Hey guys,

I am converting my 6x2x2 over to a tropical tank with Cardinals, Blue Rams, Rummynoses, some Geos, aspitogramma (I was also thinking some discus but will they work?) and a bunch of various catfish.

I am stuck though on what other smallish tropicals to get to stock the tank as I only have 20 or so cardinals and the same of that of Rummynoses. I want other schooling fish for the tank so I am thinking hatchetfish but what other sorts of tetras etc would look nice in there??

The tank will have lots of driftwood+anubis and the substrate will be the good ole river gravel! The tank is fully cycled and has 3 1200+lph canister filters on it and I will probably hide a few large sponge filters in ther aswell. I am doing this as I am aiming to stack this full of fish (only small schooling ones of course).

Please give me some suggestions on what I should get!

Thanks alot,

Ben

P.S. I will also have some tangs forsale if anyone has some nice tropicals/catfish too swap or I will sell outright.

glowlights look great in a school if you can find them ember tetras also look very good hatchets are nice just make sure you have good lids

I personal like Black widows and rummynoses, which I currently keep with my discus.

Most tetras will look nice in a school.
But in my opinion, cardinals, penguins and rummynoses look the best

THanks for the suggestions.

Is there any other fish that would work that are not tetras that will look nice?

Glass cats are pretty tough and look good in a school.
