[QUOTE="Stephanie, post: 2205655, member: 207323"] I have a 40 gallon tank that is tall. I currently do not have any fish but am still during research on what to put in it. The last question I asked told me that the "one inch of fish per gallon of water" rule is bunk so now I am trying to just make sure all my levels are filled so each fist has it's own space. Prefers Top Level: 1 male swordtail and possibly 2 females if room allows Prefers Top to Middle Level I would love to have one of each: 1 Dwarf Gourami, 1 Red Fire Dwarf Gourami (I know it's just a color variant of the regular dwarf) and 1 Honey Sunset Gourami. Prefers Middle Level 2 Angelfish A school of Mickey Mouse or Red Wag Platies OR a school of black-skirt tetras IF ROOM ALLOWS Prefers Middle to Bottom Level I'd love to have a school of either Cherry Barbs or Gold Barbs (P.S. Does anyone know if they will school together if I get some of both?) Prefers Bottom Level Albino Cory Cats What is the general consensus on this stocking? Do I have room for female swordtails and a school of platies OR tetras and all of the gouramis? Does anyone know if the barbs will school together? According to my research these fish should all get along with each other and be able to live out their entire adult lives in the tank. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
