asian river tank

any suggestions of what to put in a Asian river tank with my cherry barbs?

Which Asian river are you talking about?

hillstream loaches, any other loach, zebra/leopard danios, rasboras, minnows, gouramis, bettas. these are small fish indigenous to Asia

k any asian stream

I have Rose Line Sharks , Flying Fox , L162 Plecos , and Hillstream Loaches in my 6' river system.

asian river, not any river

Please help me and tell me where the Asian river is. I don't rememmber a river called the Asian river.

Asian river or stream is like any American river or stream?

I think he meant any typical river or stream in Asia.

thts a really good template, excluding the bala sharks, clown loaches, and giant danios

Lots of filtration and water movement is key. Good luck, and definitely post pics of your progress!

so far all i got is the barbs, it's tiny, 5g

A 5 gallon "river" tank won't be much of a river. Go with a stillwater stream instead. Cherry barbs will get kind of big and fat for a 5 gallon. Why not replace them with a tiny rasbora species - one of the "micro" rasboras would be good. There are many tiny Asian fish which come from these stillwater streams and swamps where the water movement is practically nil and the temperatures are high.

what would i do with the barbs, since i'm in middle school i made a pack with my parents, that i wouldn't just get rid of fish at the whimsy, i have a lot of fi'ters, 1 of each type and a bubbler, so i have a lot of water movement, would some micro rasboras, the dwarf spot kind, be ok in there
