Hi All
I have just ordered my new tank, a Juwel Rio 180 (I have arranged so it arrives 13th Feb - I am off that day to sort it out).
I have ordered 2 filter sponges (which will fit the new tank) and have a spare one already in my current small tank to get seeded, so once I get the new tank delivered I can place 3 nice and dirty seeded filters and also some old gravel substrate into the new tank - so I am hoping for a quick cycle.... unlike last time.
Stocking ideas - I have been told by the missus for small peaceful and colourful community fish.
So the idea is something like:
10 Cardinal Tetras
6 Harlequin Rasboras or Spotted Blue Eye Rainbows
4 Ember Tetras (They are from my current tank)
4 Pitbull Plecos (I have one left in my current tank, will buy more)
5 Guppies (Just males preferably)
2 Dwarf Gouramis
So my question are:
What would people choose Harlequin Rasboras or Spotted Blue eyes?
Will my 4 Ember Tetras hang out with the Cardinals? or should I get more embers?
Could I get the Pibtull some corydora friends instead of other pitbulls and then also get a bristlenose?
I have seen some goldust mollies which are stunning, would these be possible tank mates for this community?
Any other stocking ideas/changes are welcome!
