This is what I am looking at for my 50gal, 4ft tank. I only have the peppermint bristlenose already.
2 x bristlenoses (1 peppermint, 1 albino)
3 x yoyo loaches
4 x otos
6 x cories
6 x rummynose tetras
2 x german blue rams
Now, that is overstocked. So the question is, what do I take out? At least 1 BN and the loaches are a must. The rest, and their numbers, are up for discussion. Also, that is a lot on the lower level. I am not concerned with the 'look' of most of my fish being on the bottom or hidden, but what about territory/space for them?
And finally, my lfs has some gorgeously coloured GBRs that are about 1.5" long. I was hoping to observe them and pick a pair - would they even be pairing at that size, or would I best to buy a bunch, wait til a pair forms and return the rest?
