Hi,
I've been slowly stocking my new corner tank -
http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=95576
and have reached a point where i'm really having to consider what I put in next. My old 35L was well overstocked and I was a victim of all the side effects it caused.
Thankfully so far I've not had any significant nasty algae and don't want to spark one off.
The tank is heavily planted and currently stocked with the following -
3 Cherry Barbs (2M + 1F)
1 Cich Ellioti (Big Daddy)
10 Neon Tetra (My first fish - bless)
5 Black Widow Tetra (nice when they cluster)
10 Silver Tip Tetra (spend all day chasing each other about)
1 Dwarf Tiger Pleco (Never see him)
3 Cori Julii (Replaced my insane Albino Cori)
3 Otocinclus (Quality Addition)
4 Amano Shrimp (Living mostly in the "tree" tops)
The substrate is white sand and most of the colour in the tank is green and the brown of the large tree.
I'd like to add a couple of good shoals of tetra as i'm liking the wave of blue the neons make when shifting about. I've been eyeing up some rummienose and some lemon tetra in my LFS.
Additionally i've only recently started exploring the world of Cichlid's and am really enjoying the two dwarf's i have in my 35L and the Ellioti in the 190L. Recently the LFS has had in some Bolivian & Blue RAMS. Both of which look good but I have been more drawn to the Blue RAMS (Euro) as they are significantly different from the Ellioti.
So my questions -
How many more fish could I be happily fitting into this tank?
- I'm happy to take the Silver Tips out to aid getting larger shoals of Rummies & Lemons.
Would the Blue Rams fit into the current stocking and get on with the larger Cich Ellioti?
- Also how many and what sex?
Can anyone make any other recommendations for stocking to fit into this community sudo amazonian setup?
Best Regards,
John
p.s Yes I will have pictures soon - new camera arrives today.
