This is what I’m working with right now I have:
12 Cherry Barbs
6 Orange Venezuelan Cory’s
6 Otos
The Cherry barbs are kinda ruling the tank right now
Here are the options I have in mind right now:
Red Female Betta
regular betta from my local petco she’s super friendly comes right up the glass to greet me used to be in a 10 gallon with 5 Cherry barbs cohabitated just fine. She’s in a 15g by herself if I don’t add her I might just add some Pygmy Cory’s to her tank for company and if I do add her I’ll just be making it a solo Pygmy Cory tank. Win-Win
1 Bolivian Ram
Small and peaceful cichlid as long as it’s not mating hence only getting one, no real experience w these guys I know you have to have a varied diet of live frozen foods which I’ve never really had to keep up with. Will it turn into a turf war with my Cherry barbs? Any experience with these guys? Lmk
Some kind of small gourami
These are so cool! Read that the bigger gouramis are not a good pair with smaller fish but heard that honeys or even sparkling gouramis would be fine
Or should I just keep it like this if anything add more of the same species and let the Cherry barbs run the tank?
What have you kept with your Cherry barbs?
