Yes they are apisto's and I have revised the stock list to not include the Embers. 4x Cockatoos m/f/f/f 1x DBG 10x Neon Tetra 10x Rummynose Tetra 6x Sterbai Cory's 5x Kuhli Loach 2x Starlight Bristlenose That's what aqadvice said should be ok. Bit much?

Ok so the tank i'm getting is now a 65G. So this amount of fish should be fine right? Maybe even another female CC? Or another silverlight?

I've read about fish-in and fish less cycling. What does silent cycling involve. I was leaning more towards fish less with the plants in.

Really? I suppose I was just trying to play it safe haha. Yeah I'll probably add another 2 Cory's and another 2 embers and pick another lot of tetras. Thanks for the advice. Have you had any experience with cockatoos?

Hi I'm considering a cockatoo cichlid. I would like some advice on suitable tank mates and what kind of temperament they have. I planning on putting him in a 160L/42G tank. This is ideally how I would stock. 1x Cockatoo cichlid 1x Dwarf Blue Gourami 8x Ember Tetras 4x Kuhli Loaches 4x Sterbai...

I've read cockatoos are aggressive towards one another but are pretty docile towards other fish. I'll be doing a lot of research before I actually buy anything just to be safe. Thanks for your help. :)
