Hi ,
I lost a few fish when I returned from holiday to find that the filter was
broken :(( No sign of them though!

It is a 20 gal tank. Stock at present:

1 x Cory (Juleii or Schwarzii)
2 x Bristlenose
1 x Clown Pl*c (small variety, I believe there is a larger one too)

4 x X-ray tetras
1 x Black Phantom tetra
1 x blue tetra

2 x loach (sidthimunki)
2 x shrimp

This was several weeks ago so I would like to add a few fish in a couple of
weeks.......everything seems settled now & water is good. New filter head
and new lights ( kept putting that off so bit the bullet) are in too.

The obvious choice would be to add a few cory as I know they do not like
being alone. Or maybe a few more tetras, but any suggestions? Water is
pretty hard here in London. Tank is very well planted and been established
for several years. Could do with something a bit showy maybe?

Suggestions?
Thanks
Julie

I had similar to you and added 3 Kribensis. (1 male 2 Female). I also added
a little cave. They were hugely rewarding once a pair was established, as
they are fantastic parents.

My 2 pence worth.
