Personally, I'd change that stocking list around a bit. Here's an example of what you could keep: 2 blue acaras 8-10 cories 12 tetras (of your choice) 1 bristlenose This tank would be understocked, leaving you a little bit of room for other fish, should you want them. I dropped the firemouth because I'm rather partial to South American fish, but it's your tank. Think up of something that you would like, and go with that.  |
