We have just purchased, setup and currently cycling a 6x2x2 tank. We originally were looking at purchasing it to grow the cichlids in it but decided to keep them in the 4ft at this stage

so on the list of must haves are:

* Bristlenose cats possibly some Pleco's (lots of area to clean)
* Clown's (a school of them)
* Perhaps some form of Rainbowfish

Not sure whether even to go for Native to Australia PNG?

We were thinking a few groups of schooling fish but unsure of what direction to head.

We were hoping that 'Bumble' (Our 7" Bumblebee Catfish) could be happy there but alas we think not anymore.

Any suggestions would be fab, thanks

There are plenty of awesome Rainbowfish on the market mate. It might pay to head to your next local ANGFA meeting, and talk to some of the guys there. Here in Melbourne, they take place on the first Friday of every second month, and you can get all the details at:
angfa.org.au
Hope to see you there ;)

I just realised that EDAS Plant Study Group is on this Friday night as well, so I don't think I'll be able to make it fellas. I'd encourage you still still go along, there's lots of guys there who love to talk about their Rainbows. They usually have a couple of good lectures on too, not to mention the trading table!
