Aquarium Advice Apprentice
So I have had some thoughts on stocking a 40 breeder tank for the past few weeks. My original plan was stocking around 2 breeding pairs of kribs, but I have a bad pair. They spawned last Sunday and they are not guarding any area of the tank, in fact my Chinese Algae Eater turned to the devil, only going after the female krib. I feel like this new idea, thanks to the help of Ted Judy(google if you don't know him), is much better and I will probably get fry. Here is the stocking plan:
4- Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Bipindi"(1 male and 3 females for a colony)
7 bloodfin tetras
7 blue tetras
3 cory cats
6 Otocinclus cats
I may also get 6 marbled hatchet fish for the top of the tank
Let me know if I am over stocking, the Pelvicachromis are fairly good parents as most are wild caught(the place I am ordering from only has wild caught ones) and only have batches of 30 tops so there isn't a large group of babies to watch. I will be adding three burrito caves for the colony of Pelvicachromis, as they seem to be the most attractive to them.
