Okay, so we just bought a 3 foot bow fronted Jewel aquarium and I have no clue what to put in it.

We have got gravel, heater, filter, pump, shipwreck ornament, other ornaments and even a little diver man who swims up and down when the air blows in his errr bottom lol

Soooooo - fish????

I would like something colourful really - I loike brightly coloured fish and don't mind even only having a single pair in the tank so long as they are bright.

Any advice off you seasoned bunch

Corys for the bottom. Mabey also a pleco

All of them, apart from the corys + pleco are colorful. And very easy to look after

Fish Crazy Best fish forum there is.

Thanks Tom

I think I would like to get maybe a pair of larger really bright fish rather than a few smaller ones.

May run up to our local aquatics place tomorrow if we get this stupid bathroom finished

If you want just a few larger fish, then a really nice idea would be to pack your tank with bogwood and get a group of marbled headstanders. They look really cool when fully grown, and are really unique.

But they will eat all plants except java fern, and they will munch on any other fish.

Thanks Esfa - not that keen on them

What are the fish with the biggish lips that are orange and yellow and bright?

Or am I being dim and thinking of marine fish

EDIT - I was thinking of a damsel fish which I now know is a marine fish

I do like the electric blue, powder blue and electric yellow cichilds though - how compatible are they to my set up?

If you want a few larger fish then why don't you get two or three parrot fish? These come in a variety of colours. . . Pink, yellow, orange etc
There fish can only be kept with there own sort though!

Or you could have small fish such as the ones mentioned above and get a pair of dwalf or other types of guramis(sp?)
Be careful though as some of them can get quite big! lol

Yeah, parrot fish get big, and are absolutly gorgeous to look at. They have big lips too if i remember rightly?

Or even set up a discus tank? They are large, unique and nice looking brightly colored fish. Can be expensive though

Yeah they do have big lips. . . Not so much when they are younger! But when they are older! I would like them. . . but my community tank wouldn't allow it! They have enough trouble off my teritorial red tailed shark! lol

No, i dont think my tank could take it either lol.

How many is a 120L suitable for?
