I posted about setting up a 125g about 6 months ago. I never did do it but I did set up a n mini one in my 75g. Well the time has come that Im bored with my 125g current stock. My 75g with the community is some much more interesting. So Im going to do a change. Heres what I have currently

2 bolivians rams
3 festivums
8 diamond tetras
7 lemon tetras
6 schwartzi cories
2 BN plecs(dont have them yet but will on Sat)

Ok I need some help with this. I want to add at least one more tetra species and up the others. I cant up the diamonds because I got these on sale and there regualar 5$. All suggestion are welecome. Oh ya I want this to be all SA. Thanx

how about upping the cory school to 10 or 12, or adding another 6 -8 of a similar looking cory

up the lemons to 10-12

and add a school of 10 or so flame tetras( or bleeding hearts)

I think that having different colored schools of tetras would look great. ( yellow/silver/red)

I thought of upping to cory school but The schwartzis were expensive and hard to get. I think that I may want to concentrate on the mid-top of the tank with the tetras. I will definatley be adding more plecos. Im thinking though of adding some angels. But only if I can find a solid black one.

Ok after looking at my old stock list ideas I saw that I had black neons and von rios on there. So those would probably be a go.

Sticklebacks need a chiller.

If he were going to do a North American community, however, there are many cichlids, tetras, minnows, and other assorted fish that could go in.



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Depending on where you live, and if you use AC, a chiller is not neccesary for any of the freshwater spined stickles.
