greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	How many tetras could I have in my 75g with 2 bolivian rams and a royal plec. I want as many different body shapes as I can get while still having good looking schools.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	How's aboot: 12 Cardinal Tetras (slender body shape) 12 Head and Tail Light Tetras (medium body shape) 8 Bleeding Heart Tetras (deep body shape) And if you even more variey, you could try and get your hands on some Darter Characins (extra slender body shape). I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Apareiodon pongoensis, the Pongo Pongo or Whirling Dervish Characin? In a 75G you'd have plenty of room for them because they only reach 2 inches in length. And you'd have some of the wackiest Characins on Earth in your aquarium! Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	could I still add a cory school with my list. I think i'll go with cardinals or black neons. I don't like the translucence of glowlights that much.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Yeah, you could have ten or so cories. They are inoffensive and their cleaning habits are helpful, so I don't see a problem with some cories. I think this was already mentioned to you, but the royal pleco will eventually need a bigger tank. Have you made plans for that? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
