I am finally at a point where I want to start thinking about restocking my 26g bowfront. The fish that used to be in it have been moved, save for one, into my new larger tank.
Once the one holdout is better, fin issues I think from being beaten up, he will be moved as well.
I am definitely getting a school of 7-8 neons. Love them, their activity and color. Plus I want a nice school.
I will also have 4 Oto cats. Love their ability to keep the algae at bay.
So what else can I get. I was toying with doing an Amazon Biotope. But, while from SA, I don't think Otos will allow that. The tank is moderately planted, with lowlight easy plants. It has stock lighting T8. It has some Val, Anubis, crypts. But an thinking about rescaping and adding some Amazon sword. Hard scape right now is some rocks, but I will be adding a DW, sometime in the next 2 weeks.
PH is 7.6. Which I know is not ideal for Neons.
26g-
Stock I must have:
7-8 neon tetra
3-4 Oto cats
What I want( here is where I need suggestion)
Peaceful community fish. Hardy. And one centerpiece fish. I like a lot of activity, so would prefer smaller active fish and one bigger centerpiece, a gourami maybe? If room, would love Cory as well. But space is limited.
There is just so much to pick from. I would like to at least stay in the same general continent. South America.
Thanks. Figuring out stock is so much fun!!!
