Then we should know the water chemistries (pH,KH,GH). Then we should know what you have in mind for the tank (lots of plants, or just a few). Rocks, should be all non-carbonates. In other words they should all pass the "Fizz test." You drop a drop of vinegar on a fresh broken surface and the drop does not fizz. Once you decide what "look" you are trying to create, and publish the lighting, water chemistries, we can help. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |

Also, some large leaf plants, or some long, narrow leaf plants might look nice with that selection of fish. Just an idea. hope it helps! -tankster |
