ruffrider Fingerling Posts: 15 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Jan-2003	I have a 26g bowfront. Thinking about 2 keyholes, gold rams, panda cories and some ottos. Any info on the keyholes would be appreciated!!! Stocking 2 keyholes,4-6 rams, 4-5 cories and 4 ottos, sound good? Thanks~ C

They are very peaceful fish, even considered shy and timid. I definitely recommend keeping them with other peaceful fish. Personally for your tank I'd choose one type of cichlid, then add a school of some sort of tetra, rasbora, or peaceful barb. The cories and ottos are a good addition, just make sure there is some algae already established in the tank before adding the ottos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
