Inspiration on 180L Juwel Tank for Rainbowfish

[Fisharino]

Hi all,


I'm new here but have been keeping fish for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 180L Juwel tank that I used to keep Mbuna cichlids in for a long time. I've recently sold all the fish and want to repurpose the tank for rainbowfish.


I understand that a 180L tank is large enough to keep a good number of rainbowfish. I'm considering keeping two species together: Blue Eyes (Pseudomugil gertrudae) and Luminatus (Pseudomugil luminatus). Is this a bad idea? Hybridization?
If it's possible, how many of each species would you recommend keeping?


Any advice would be really appreciated!

Do you speak/ write Dutch?
For now: what are the dimensions of your tank?

Hello,

I do not speak Dutch just yet, I will start to write my posts in both Dutch and English from now on.
Below are the dimensions of my Juwel Rio 180L.

Volgens AquaInfo (behoorlijk betrouwbare website) kunnen de gertrudae en de luminatus geen nakomelingen met elkaar krijgen.

According to AquaInfo (pretty reliable website) can P. gertrudae and P.luminatus not produce offspring.
