150G Stocking

[kizno1]

Would a pair of red spot sevs work instead of the rotkeils? Ive been trying to decide between the 2 and i think the red spots edge it for me.

 

[Wills]

Yeah red spots would be fine now since its a 5x2x2 now But yeah that stock list looks pretty top notch - Ill tell you what you want though, some Leopoldi Angels and some Krobia sp. Rio Xingu - oh no wait thats my tank jk

Haha. The angels do look great though. My tanks already pretty much the stocking youve got so they might work lol. Nah i think ill leave it with a fairly low stock because i would like to have a few of them breed.

Wow thats a cool stocklist. Can't wait for the pics.

I think im going to go for gold sevs i saw a load today and they look great. There about 2-3" and where only £4.99. I saw a lima shovelnose which is really tempting me but i think ill have to say bye to the BNs if i get one. It was about 8" and £24. They had tiny little black ghost knife fish aswell and after seeing one i defiantly want one. Is £10 a good price for one about 3" long?

I am. Hopefully a pair.

Would a 21G be ok to grow out a BGKF in. There only 3" and im worried they would get bullied. so i was wondering would it be best if i got one first and grew it out on its own in a 21G until is a few " bigger.

I think i might go for the lima. Apparently they wont eat fully grown BNs so there shouldnt be a problem.
So
2 gold sevs
5 redhead tapajo geophagus
3 bns plus fry
1 black ghost knife fish
1 female Nicaragua Cichlid
1 lima shovelnose

and ill have to rethink the dithers because it think the emperors could become a snack.

What do you feed your lima on?
Ive been looking around and most places say muscles, prawns and carnivorous pellets.

I went swallow aquatics today and was really tempted by a pair of tapajo geos for £13 but i managed to resist. They had some nice golds sevs aswell 4 for £18. They had a tank with about 8 nics in there but they where all just plane browny sort of colour they must have been a good 3" long. Is it just they are still young? or are they just bad quality?

 

[kizno1]

Any ideas other than silver dollars that would work as dithers? There going to need to be big no because of the shovelnose.
