Stocking 60L Fish Tank

[Kershboy56]

Any cool and colourful easy to keep suggestions? Straightforward and simple suggestions please

Freshwater? seawater? cold? tropical? Coral?

[jomifl]

small fish, you get more movement and if the odd one dies then it won't do too much harm if it isn't discovered quickly.

You can't go far wrong with Guppies (tropical, freshwater, needs heater and filter).

Or fancy goldfish (coldwater, and filter preferable but not essential provided stocking levels are low).

Tropical fish are cleaner and there is a lot of choice of colours. Some like to be grouped (Neons) and some, such as male Siamese Fighting fish you can only keep one of in the tank. Can live with other types though.

Have you cycled the tank?

+1 to Wildwoods question.

Sorry forgot to put tropical, the tank is cycled and set up etc. I've kept tropical fish before so I know how to properly set it up and everything but don't know much about fish names and types

[Kershboy56]

Tropical freshwater btw

I'll tell you a few types we have kept together:
angel fish- triangular body
Siamese fighting fish -great colours long fins(only 1 male at a time)
guppies- very popular
mollies-black or white (die quite easily!)
clown fish-orange and white stripes
shark - grey with red tips
neons- like being in a group, luminous stripe
catfish
loach- very good for cleaning sides of tank

Thanks, could I keep angelfish with guppies

[pixie373]

Yes. We kept all those together and more without any problems. The place that you go to to buy your fish should be able to advise you further too

[divegirl]

Sorry but you can not keep Angel fish in a 60 l tank, they need tall tanks and plenty of swimming space.

60l? Stick to guppies, pretty and easy to maintain.

Can I ask how you are maintaining the cycle with out any fish in the tank?
