IME trios are not fun. It usually ends with a third wheel that gets bullied a lot.

Hmm, that seems like quite a bit to me. I have never hear of a dwarf BN, and i dont think they exist. The barbs might nip a bit, eachother, and the other tetras. If i were you i would replace the bards with somthing else, IMO. Also, i would do 2 pearl gouramis, no third wheel.

The stock is NEVER final, it doesnt matter that you change it.

I think he meant just the bristlenose pl*co since its a dwarf compared to the common. I like that stocking list make sure u out up pics.

And as long as you have it well decorated with plants/hiding spots I think everyone will be fine.

Wow ya that will look like a great tank! I like how you upped the tetras, that will be a colorful, active community.

That other forum is terrible, i for one, change my stock constantly. Its your tank, and you have to be happy about it! We post to learn and seek advice, not be insulted for our ideas! I like your stock and change how ever much you want, as lobg as it is compatible, and not over stocked

I agree, pictures!!

I Swim, are you doing a planted tank? If so what types of plants are you doing? I have a 75 that I'm building and I like you fish selection, but I am doing plants for sure. Do the GBR and the cockatoo cichlids dig or eat plants?

 

[fish-4-life]

yes i am doing a planted tank im thinking:

amazon sword
flame moss
java ferns

low-light to medium light plants
im wanting to do this:
