70g Fw Setup

[Crazybob]

hi, i have a 70g freshwater that im planning on restocking with:
6 german blue rams
4 otos
a shoal of about 20 cardinal tetras
and possibly 2-4 cacatuoides apistogrammas

would this be overstocking my tank? and does anyone have suggestions to change the setup? the only ones i def want to keep are the rams


thanks,

In terms of bioload you are more than fine. I am not sure about the agressiveness of the cichlids though. I understand the rams pair up, and get very agressive during breeding time. It might be worthwhile checking this out at the cichlids forum.

thanks, from the research ive done it sounds like they should all be peaceful towards each other, so i dont think that should be a problem .

does anyone know if i decided to add an apple snail or 2 would they be at rick of getting eaten by any of my fish? i dont think they would, but im not certain

thanks

Don't worry about the snail. Only some loaches are known to be good snail eaters
