Any Ideas For Stocking A 180 Litre Tank :)

[Corrine]

My stocking list so far, for my Juwel Rio 180l...

4x Platinum angels
10-20x Rummynose Tetras
2x Apistogramma Cacatuoides, double red

2x Hypancistrus sp. (L201)
2x Leopard frog pleco (L134)
2x Albino pleco

Would anymore cichlids fit into this stocking list, like the bolivian rams or similar??! Can anyone tell me how well stocked this is so far, and how many more fish should i consider ?

I would be tempted to stick at that and see afterwards how they're behaving as a community.

Yeah sounds sensible ...

I'll wait and see.. I am already picturing a beautifully aquascaped, fully stocked tank lol.. in reality it is uncycled, tannin stained and only has a lump of wood and some gravel in it .. getting there i s'pose .. I just wish it would HURRY UP lol

Yeah i know what you mean, but it's the best time to research because once it's ready you won't want to wait any longer.

2x Lemon ancistrus (L144)
2x Hypancistrus sp. (L201)
2x Leopard frog pleco (L134)

Are 6 plecs too big for a 180 litre?

Plecos poo alot so invest in a really good gravel cleaner lol. i have 2 plecos and they sometimes get antsy with each other over food, not sure if 6 together would mean lots of squabbling.

Yeah the lemon ones are really nice.. I wanted the albino ones first.. but the lemons eyes are nicer haha

hmm I thot 6 would be pushing it.. there all just sooo nice n i can't pick.. i s'pose i could go one of each lol..

I asked the guy at my LFS aswell and he said a maximum of 4 plecs at the most, in a 180l ..

So does 3 sound better ?
