Hello..
GH is around 5
PH is around 7
I keep the temp between 22-23C / 72F
Tank size is 200 litre / 53G and 100cm long
Current habitants are 12 Peppered Corydora and some cherry shrimp
Whilst I like the idea of keeping it South American, some Barbs have caught my eye.
I love the Odessa, and they'd suit my lower temp, but don't they require higher PH? And would 100cm be big enough?
Joint second choice are Pentazona and Black Ruby, I believe the water parameters suit either.
So considering the South American 'biotope' (not strictly as many of my plants wouldn't be found there), I'm nowhere near making a decision on what Tetra I could keep, either alongside the barbs (and corys) or alone (with the corys). Are there any tetra as stunning as the barbs that can be kept at lower temps?
For dither fish, for either scenario, I was just thinking of some zebra danios.. but again, these wouldn't fit a s.american setup. I
I can't help feel like I need to educate myself a great deal about tetras?
Oh, and of course.. l'll be adding some Otos..
Thanks for any suggestions, information on tetras
