What tropical fish to put in a 30 gallon fish tank?
I will have lots of tall fake grass, a few rocks and such. What tropical fish go together good? This is a pure display tank for show in my house. I want some swimming at the top, bottom and throughout the entire tank. They also have to live well with eachother and make a beautifully scene. Thanks to all legitimate answers!
For the bottom, a shoal of Corydoras Catfish would add a lot of life. You should get at least 4 of them, preferably 6 or more. Peppered Corydoras Catfish are a nice hardy breed. Albino Cories or Bronze Cories are also pretty hardy.
A very colorful option are livebearers. These will breed though, so if you don’t want babies they aren’t the best option. These are exceedingly colorful with lots of different color strains to choose from.
Platies are a peaceful livebearer with females that are as colorful as males are. They are probably the sweetest natured of the livebearers, with males tolerating each other much better than with Guppies, Swordtails, and Mollies. You should get 2 females per male to start with, and they prefer groups of 5 or more. Platies will swim throughout the tank and provide a huge amount of color to an aquarium.
If your water is more acidic to neutral Tetras, Rasboras, and Danios will do well rather than livebearers.
Harlequin Rasboras are tight schooling fish with orange bodies and a navy blue triangle. They require groups of 6 or more. They swim in the middle of the aquarium.
Neon Tetras are a very attractive loosely schooling fish that are blue, red, and silvery. They are more fragile than the other fish and are best added to a tank that has been up for 6 months or so. They like groups of 6-8 or more. Cardinal Tetras are similar to Neon Tetras and would also work in that tank.
