Howsit guys!

I have been busy rebuilding my 250 Liter Tank. Photos attached!
I can't seem to decide on what fish i want to stock. :fish1:

The setup i originally aimed for was an african chiclid mbuna tank, but have since changed my mind, afraid of mixing species up too much and having to go back and forth.

Now i am considering a few different options:

1- 1x Flowerhorn - Have to then remove my rockscape

2- A community tank with the following:
2x Bolivian Rams
12x Rummy nose tetras
12x Cardinal tetras
12x Silver Tip tetras

3- 20x Tiger barbs

I will add a few hardy plants at a later stage.

Any other suggestions?

I have an idea. Instead of stocking tank #3 with Tiger barbs, you could stock it with either a mix of Tiger barbs and Pearl danios or just pearl danios :) They're very peaceful and exhilarating to look at. Also, you could stock it with a mix of Pearl danios and neon tetras for tank #3.

P.S. Your tanks look very well! So looking forward to see it stocked.
 
Thanks man

Pearl danios do look great!
I still like the idea of the rams as a centrepiece and maybe the pearl danios with the rummynose and cardinals?
They should all be compatible i believe, maybe add a few red cherry ?
 
Sounds great!

Can't wait for the results :0 Sadly where I live I don't have such a variety of fish so you're welcome :ROFLMAO:
