Tonz of questions

[mermaidgirl]

hey everyone! heres the prob . . . i just got my tank all nice and filled and its been cycled and there are fish in it now. 4 pristella tetra, 3 gold tetra, and 3 head/tail light tetra. I have a penguin filter on it, and it is a 20 gallon tank. I have a couple of questions to ask . .

1. When my tank is ready to add more fish, I want to get 3 dalmation mollies and 3 black swords and i need advice about behaviour and general care of them. if u have had experience with these fish or own some plz give me some advice.

2. I was looking at getting some White clouds much later on, wood these be ideal tank mates for the tetras, the swords and the mollies?

3. Does anyone no where i can get some Egyptian Mouthbrooder Cichlid and will it be a good tankmate for those mentioned above?

4. Wood a small tiger barb school end up being good tankmates with the tetras, swords, and mollies?

5. Does anyone have any info on a Hexazona barb?

This is the end of my super long post and thnx a ton to everyone who responded and gave me great advice!

2,Very good fish for your tank!!!!!! I wounldn't get the mollies our swords though.

3.Allmost every cichlid will not do well in a comunity tank,And as far as i know the only cichlid i would put in a comunity would be angels or severums.

4.Tiger barbs a bad fin nippers,If you get a school of a least 6 i think you can get some.

5."Hexazona barb"

hope this helps ;D

p.s. Welcome to the board!!!!!!!

the egyptian mouthbrooder would need a harder water...the gh-ph-kh have 2 be different...so it wouldn't do very good...

I forgot to add that all the fish you mentioned would over load your tank!!!!!!

so you can talk with us and see if we can all agree on the best thing for you to do.

That is if you care what we have to say ;D
