S/A Bio-type

[bert12]

Hello I've been looking into redoing my 29 community into a S/A bio-type. I have come up with, 2 rams, 12 rummy nose tetras, 4 corys, and 1 farlowella (aka twig cat). I would appreciate suggestions for other fish/plants/inverts. Please keep in mind I want it to be a S/A bio-type.

Thanks,

Bert12

Your fish selection is ok although you could add a dwarf pleco such as a bristlenose to the mix. As far as plants are concerned, you'll find that most of the plants available are either of Asian or African rain forest origins.

I would up the cories to 6 and call it stocked.

There is also the Apistogramma spices. There a beautiful south American dwarf cichlid that can be housed with a huge number of differnt spices from south america.

Weasel F.- I will have all the cichlids I want with the rams.

JustOneMore20-I think i'll take your advice.

Jchillin-I can't stand plecos, they are just SO UGLY, I can't stand them! Do you know of any plants from S/A?

Thanks all

Most all plants on the market today come from the rain forest region of Central Africa and Asia. I've run across a coupe of plants from South America but they where so costly I could't afford them or my budget.

Search on tropica.com. Go to advanced search and then choose South America where it says continent. It will give you a list then.

I tried to search and then paste the page on here, but it didn't work. It just went back to the front page.

The choices are pretty limited though...
