37g To 150g Upgrade - Ideas

[jimw13uk]

Hi

just in the midst of buying a new tank - 150 UK Gallons (5x2x2.5)

I have currently a Heros Efasciatus about 6-7" , 2 Herotilapia Multispinosa (Breeding Pair) , 2 Thoricthys Meeki (both males unfortunately) , 2 Apistogramma Cacuatoides (Both Males - am trying to find a few females at the mo) and about 5 Corydoras and a small Bristlenose. Oh yeah and a shoal of mixed Congo,Black Widow, Lemon and Serpia Tetras - 25 of them.

I'm after some suggestions as to what to do with the tank - i'm planning on a Sand Substrate and rock and bogwood - not much in the plant department as my Severum eats plants for fun.

I really like the GymnoGeophagus/Geophagus, I also like Uaru.

Not sure what to put in except I know I dont want Discus or Angelfish at all but anything else I'd be interested in ideas to point me in the right direction.

So you have all of those in your 37G right now? wow, thats a packed house right there. I would move all of your cichlids over to the 150 (sev, rainbows, and fms) and then maybe you can think about adding some geos or other cichlids but not too many more (I prefer light stocking though so...). You can prob move the bn over too as he'll love all that room.

Keep the tetras, the cories and the apistos in the 37G and that tank is full (again, understocked is always better than overstocked)

EDIT: spelling
