NLS Chiclid. Plus toss in a few blanched shelled peas and blanched green beans now and then.

FYI, some of your links do not work.

he said he had a 95

Even a teaspoon is way too much. Just a pinch or two. 30 seconds. Two minutes is too long. Skip the auto feeder. They could go a week or more without feeding. Just turn off the lights. Don't overfeeding before you go.

With a Pleco? Yes. With Africans? No. I can attest to this with personal experience.

Common plecos can grow to 1-2 feet ( yes, feet). A bristlenose pleco grow to 4-5 inches.

I agree but both of these species get too big for that tank.

They come in all shapes and sizes. I have a featherfin myself. BTW I had a CAE in with my Malawis and they killed it.

I would suggest an appropriately sized Syno over a Pictus. The Syno is more robust. Pictus may work, but it's somewhat of a gamble. I've read where Cichlids may eat the eyes out of Pictus.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but +1 on Bristlenose Pleco for algae control. Of course, fish and left over food waste are only controlled with proper filtration and water flow.

I wonder if there are toxins that could leach after time.

Ah. I overlooked that. I guess "Seal all around it and add sand to if it you want to try to make it blend in with the things you already have in your tank." confused me, but you meant seal it with the paint/quickcrete mix, right? I would think that the concrete would sap the acid from the...

I agree completely with garfy. However, I have seem plenty of folks who swear by overstocking. The downside to overstocking (besides the squabbling) is this: No matter how much filtration you add the end product of biological filtration is Nitrates, and filters to not effectively filter...

Andy that looks great. Did you really seal the whole thing with silicone? Doesn't it look glossy?
