Kenny Enthusiast Posts: 252 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Rio 240 is roughly 53 uk gallon (65 usg). Cardinals, neons, rummy nose, rams, cories and some plecs are usual additions and usually work well. Some plecs can be pretty dodgy though due to some of them developing a taste for the discus slime coat. My only problems with the juwel tanks were I wasn't completley happy with the built in filter, I ended up replacing them with ehiems, but its only personal choice. Stocking suggestions, 4 discus, 15 tets, 6 cories, 1 bristlenose plec. hth Cheers Kenny
