Hello The...

How about a tank that needs no water changes? You just emerse land plants in the tank water and the roots maintain pure water conditions for the fish. No filtration needed either, just top off the water every couple of days and the fish always have pure water. The fish provide the nutrients and the plants absolutely thrive. I'm trimming these plants every few days. Attached is a pic.

Just a thought.

How about a pair of Bolivian rams, a pair festivum cichlids, 8 cardinals and 6 panda cory cats. Festivums like tall plants from the bottom of the tank to the top to float through, and around. The rams like rocks and wood on the bottom to create some tunnels. The neons and cories will create good movement, and the festivums will just float slowly around. They are a lot like angles but they are smaller (about 4 inches) and less likely to become territorial.

I do like the festivium idea, I already have a plethora of rams in another tank. Perhaps some other dwarf cichlid. Cryptotheros if I can find one

Rainbow cichlid or keyhole cichlid.
