Hi everyone, I would like to suggest me. I am Sven and I am 14 years old. Now I have 2 tanks and I would like to purchase a 3rd. It's a 60 litre tank. Fish that I like are: corydoras, apistogramma borelli and paracheirodon axelrodi. Say if you know a nice fish stock.
(I'm from Netherlands and am still not that good at English so I do it here with a translation machine)

Hi Sven,
In my opinion, blue colour fish are more "rare" and interesting than the red and yellow fish.
You can try to combine some blue colour fish with some red and yellow colour fish to make your tanks very colourful and attractive especially with the green colour plants as background.

My suggestions are:
1)German Blue Ram - look for those with striking colours and preferably not too small. The bigger Rams are more striking in their colours.
2)Cardinal Tetra - with blue and red colours.
3)Apistogramma Cacatuoides or Agassizii or Nijsseni.
Male Cacatuoides and Agassizii are more colourful and have longer & nice fins.
Female Nijsseni have nice yellow body.
4)Electric Blue Ram.

You can search the internets for the photos of the fish.

By the way, make sure that your tank is big enough for the fish that you want to keep.

Reduce the number of Corydoras as they are bottom level fish(they stay at the bottom most of the time) and sometimes it's hard to feed them enough food if you have many top level fish. You have to use sinking pellets if you keep Corydoras.
Corydoras are good in clearing left over food but I find them boring as compared to other Catfish like Synodontis Petricola or Botia Loach.
Synodontis Petricola and Botia Loach are more beautiful and interesting to watch.

You can consider Synodontis Petricola or Yoyo Loach or Botia Loach instead of Corydoras.
They are more beautiful and interesting to watch.
Note: But they can grow quite big.
