I've just bought some new plants for my Juwel vision 180L. There are 7 L270's, 17 Cardinal Tetra's & a few hundred Cherry Shrimp.
I want some more fish in there but not sure what to go for, any ideas?

Rummynose tetras are a nice contrast to the cardinals or black phantoms...Tank looks great btw :thumbup:

Hi Irene, I was thinking of something to look at lol, I have quite alot of plecs already. (L270's, L134's, L046's, L144's aswell as brown, albino & Super Red Ancistrus).

Thanks for your suggestions Derek, I was thinking about something small as not to eat my Cherry Shrimp babies. I did like the look of the Green Neons that I saw the other day.

They are nice but too much like cardinals, unless thats the look you are after...Another thought would be Rasbora Maculata or mosquito rasbora they are very sml and really nice...Endler guppys may be a possibility too.

I like the look of the mosquito rasbora, In the photos I could find they were either bright red or almost silver in colour. Is this due to water conditions, diet or when they are mature?

D-MAC · Jun 19, 2011

I have only just started stocking them...I would imagine that the males will be the high coloured red and the females and sub dominant males will be the lesser coloured ones.

rummy nose as my choice, as they are also an indicator of water quality.
Be wary of endlers they multiply like rabbits :lol:. cheers jk :thumbup:

Beautiful tank! how about some danios to keep the upper regions busy?:dk:

AndyEllard · Jun 20, 2011

I went with 16 Harlequin Rasbora's in the end. I think their colours are great & they look good shoaling together.

Pics or it didn't happen.

How about a quick video. I like the tank as it is bow fronted but it's a pain when you try to take photos with the reflection.
Ps ignore the sound the wife had the telly on quite loud.
