I like Otis too. They get 2 inch Max and do a good job. Mine school sometimes too. If u do get a pleco make sure u stick with smaller ones like the bristlenose but even then they will get 8 to 10 inches mature.

I have a pair of Bolivian rams and they are very peaceful. Have never seen em nip fins or show aggression. But being cichlids if they spawn they will show aggression to protect their eggs

Yea pics from the fish shop dude, like my Panda Garras that look after my smaller tank, will probably stick with those and look at your suggestions too, get some variety going on!
Love these Panda Garras, great fun, never stop, keep me tank sparkling!

Those plectos shown will get big. The otos always do better wrk and are more interesting in their highly active behavior. Imo.

I thought so. Always like to check b4 I say I prefer a different fish that the guy I am talkin to doesn't already own/ love that fish... I only say that about plectos bc my oldest and most dear fish is the laziest, most useless plecto ever!! Lol

Awesome... I would wry about comparability w tropical fish. Especially dietary needs. And I always wry about chlids w non chlids. But I have no experience w that particular fish.

I would have been scared to put them w danios. Or the knife w dans. Always been told they are mean. guess that wasn't entirely true...

Aight. Be watching ur build...

 

[mdavidson]

Ty. My rams have great personality. Thinking of getting another pair. And I have heard that before about my build with what I have in my 125 but have not had any issues. Even w my blood parrot the size of a baseball or the one severum just smaller than him. Or the ghost knife push in 7 inches or so

The size of ur tank helps considerably I am sure... The fish who may not get along need not even see eachother for days...
