kool... i would say that is fully-stocked... Decor?

 

[kizno1]

what are you going to get that insted of the angles then?

 

[hihi100202]

probly the platys... but i really want a big, peaceful community fish for the centerpiece fish.

im sure you could find a tank about 30g 18 inches tall mines 16" just have a llok on ebay and at car boot sales or ask you lfs if they can order 1 in for you.

If it's 25g or larger you could look at getting a keyhole cichlid. They make for a nice centrepiece fish.

Just be wary of not overstocking.

I don't know if ill be able to find a keynole cichilid at my lfs... i'v never seen one there. any thing else?

 

[kizno1]

what sort of thing do you want if you want another bottom dweller you could have one of the once in my sig the one on the left is a upside down catfish that get 4 inches. the other is a apisto that males get 3 inches females get 2 inches.

i think i like this combo. And I think for decor i will use some caves, some thing for the fish to swim thru, driftwood, and fake plants.

 

[kizno1]

theres a feww diffrent types of apisto you could have
apistogramma cacatuoides

apistogramma agassizii
thats the one in my sig
apistogramma viejita

apistogramma borelli
<a href="http/www.gpasi.org/articles/a_borelli.jpg" target="_blank">http/www.gpasi.org/articles/a_borelli.jpg</a>

to keep the
apisto borelli and viejita if you ph is about 6
the cacatuoides and agassizii are alot easyer to care for and can be kept in a ph from about 6-8

and yes its best to keep lots of caves for the bottom dwellers to hide in

Also just incase you dont know for the dwarf gouramis you should get 1 male and 2 females as 3 males will kill eachother.
