Hi everyone
New to the forums (I've put a little introduction in the intro section of the forums ) feel free to have a look
I'm getting a fluval Roma 200 ( will be my first tank ) although I grew up with fish ,my dad had 2. 10 foot tanks with red belly piranha and oscars.
So like I say I'm getting a fluval Roma 200 and I'm looking at making it into a planted peaceful community tank. My water details - which I will test myself at some point (according the website is moderately soft at 22mg/L as calcium which is about 3.08 German de)
So the fish....
I've been looking at the fish fish profiles on this site and I've been into pets at home just to have a quick look, i will be using MA to get my fish as there is one close by, I'm going to go there soon as they will have a lot more fish to look at!
But at the moment the fish that have caught my eye, and would be okay in soft water are
Schools of fish - I would love 3 to 4 schools of about 8 to 10 fish ( this is probably to many if so how many?)
Harlequin rasbora
Cardinal tetra
Cherry barbs
Rummy nose
Black phantom tetra
Some sort of Cory
Alongside with the schools of fish I would like a centre piece fish , the ones that have fought my eye are ( I know I could only have one of these maybe as a pair?)
Electric blue ram
German blue ram
Honey gourami
Opaline gourami
1 male betta
These are just the fish that have fought my eye , and like I say I'm going to visit Maidenhead aquatics to get a better look at these fish and maybe spot some different fish that look stunning, I would love your opinions on the fish I've listed and maybe if there are any fish u think I should take a look at that suit my conditions please let me know
Thanks in advance for your replys , look forward to hearing from you all
