Ok so this aquarium isn't actually new. It used to house African Yellow Labs, for a long time but my dad has always wanted live plants and my mom wanted more colors other than yellow so I decided to surprised them and switch it up. I brought the yellow labs to my LFS and picked up some fish from various stores. The new inhabitants:
Fauna:
1x bristlenose pleco (old inhabitant, stayed in tank)
1x clown pleco (old inhabitant, stayed in tank)
8x white-tipped rosy tetras
4x Bolivian rams (unsexed)
8x corydoras (unidentified, the lady said they were albino corys but they definitely aren't. I just said yes because that means they are cheaper)
10x rainbow emperor tetras (Nematobrycon lacortei)
Flora:
4x (I separated them) Sagittaria Subulata
7x aponogeton
2x ozelot sword
1x amazon sword (super small, runner from another plant I have in a different tank)
4x crypt balansae
8x crypt wendtii (I just said 8 because I don't actually know how many but there is a fair amount)
1x java fern bolbitis
*I plan on upping the rosy tetras to 10 or 12 but PetSmart only had, and I'm on the lookout for more of the java fern and some type of red plant, I haven't decided what yet*
My questions:
How does this stocking sound to you all? Can anyone help me identify these corydoras? And can I add a centerpiece fish (I was thinking some type of gourami or something similar)?
PS: It's a 60 gallon tank, I forgot to mention that haha
Pics to come
