100 Gallon Stocking List

I would go for L260 QA pleco, they are truly stunning, at the end of the day it comes down to which pleco you think looks best

I was actually leaning towards the QA, they look really nice, and our a good size
Does anyone have any info on these fish? BTW, I have finished cycling my Fluval Profile, 100 gallon tank, and am ready to go fish shopping soon Whitch one's do you think I should put in first

I would add them in terms of how hardy they are. So I would start with the Tetras then the Corys...then eventually the L260 QAP.

I guess so... but aren't tetra's like the Cardinal tetra not very hardy? Thanks for the quick reply!

Well in my experience they do badly in new aqauriums so you could introduce them last out of the tetras

Thankyou so much
Today I went to my LFS and got a few extra little things... my tanks all set, and I think I will get the Emperor Tetra's tommorow
I do have one other question, though.....
I am probably getting two pleco's, and i'm wondering, should they both be QA ? Or should I mix it up, and put another type in

And help would be awsome

Yes, kuhlis are really hard to catch. I prefer other loaches as kuhlis are often in hiding, plus they tend to get into your filter and other problems...

I have 2 yoyo loaches and they are always out and about. Nice fish. I have also Botia robusta in quarantaine and the same thing. I used to have zebra loaches and they were a bit shy. I had only 3, but when you have 5 or more, they are fine.

Thanks for the info
What do y'all think of this stocking list: ?

15 x Rummy Nose Tetra
15 x Cardinal Tetra
15 x Emperor Tetra
2 x Pearl Gourami
10 x ..... Cichlid's (Cupid, Cockatoo, Key-hole Ram???)
15 x Skunk Corydoras
1 x ..... Pleco
1 x ..... pleco


So, if anyone has any idea's too fill in the blanks, that would be awsome For Cichlids, i'm looking for the one's I put there, or similar spechies. for the Pleco, I want something small-medium sized, and fairly peaceful that will eat algae. So, any idea's would be awsome

Zophie

you wont need as many cichlids.

how about...

20 x harleqins (shoal well)
20 x Cardinal Tetra
2 x Pearl Gourami
3 x ..... keyholes or rams. (1m 2f)
15 x Corydoras (trilineatus are really nice)
1 x BN Pleco (if you get 2 or more of opp sexes you will have millions of babies and wont be able to get rid of them)
6 x M.praecox.

perfect stocking.

wack 2 decent external filters on that tank (e.g 2 TT ex1200's or better)
