180l Stocking Ideas

[Joemuz]

Im gettin my new Juwel Rio 180 next week and i was wondering what to put in it?
It will already have

1 Sailfin pleco 6"
1 Clown pleco 2"
1 Black ghost knife fish 6"

I was hoping to maybe get a discus and lots of black neon tetra.
What are your ideas?
By the way it will be a heavily planted tank.
Thanks, Joemuz

Discus will be a no-no really unless you are going to get rid of pretty much everything else in the tank!!! Discus require warmer water than most tropicals and are usually better suited to a species tank.

The tetras should be fine, have you considered angelfish and/or maybe a school of Corys to keep your plecs company.

The plecs you have are both pretty peaceful although you may not see that much of the clown.


You have given me an idea though, I have been thinking about what to add to my Rio 180 after finally re-aquascaping today, and had never though of Black Knife fish. Thanks!!!!

Keep us informed what you go for.

Already have 1 Caudimaculatus corydoras, he was £10. This isnt him but he is the same type

The Black ghost knifes are about £8 when 3" long but are wicked little fellas, mine is amzing, he is such a character and they are easily tamed. Mine is hand fed every night as he just loves me. (not supprising) lol jokin
