i have a 100 gallon tank and i am thinking about peaceful fish for this one. ok i was thinking

2 pairs of Keyhole Cichlid (4 in total)
6 Discus
15 rummy nose tetras
2 bn plecos
4 pictus catfish
3 ABF
it is a well planted tank with some floating plants that i hope the ABFs like. I have had them in past but a lost died when i went on vacation and people didn't feed and one jumped out. last thing do u think i could but in some bamboo shrimp cuz i love them and the help clean out the tank. i got a dwarf crayfish and some thimes swims with my rummy noses in my 55 gallon. he is really fast and tooke my fire mouth's breeding spot so the found a new one and are still giveing me a lot of babys and i'm happy for that cuz my lfs never get any so they buy for for 5 dollars each and i give around 10 each time and for big ones they give 10. any seggestions are greatly appreacited.

hello anyone reading? im kinda in a hurry going to store in a couple hours.

heya

not sure if it's too late or not, but i just read your post and i have a couple suggestions... or maybe comments?

your plan sounds pretty good, i think. the only thing that seems out of place to me is the pictus catfish. they're pretty active, so they may disturb the more peaceful guys. also, i think they get big enough that your rummynose may potentially start to disappear.

the only other thing to consider, i guess, would be that if you have the 2 pairs of keyholes, plus the 6 discus, you may run into problems if and when they all decide to pair off. even a 100G may not be big enough for 5 pairs of cichlids that have decided to stake their territory.

other than that, i think you'll be okay...

let us know what you decided on! : )

yea i decided to get 2 raphel instead of the pictus cats i think they will go with the stocking better and thank your for your segestions and i left the keyhole cichlids out.
