^ I take it the above is all well and good. Except maybe for my KH, but that won't be a problem. Right? :unsure:

So here is my stocking idea:

2 Bolivian Ram chiclids (plan to add 1 male 1 female this Friday)
6-8 Cardinal Tetras (I will add these in about a month or so when the tank is more established)

AND THEN...?

Probably somewhere near capacity, but I would like another fish species in there, or maybe some other invertebrate.

Any suggestions?
 
Hmm.. sand bottom, so maybe some type of cory? Or maybe a few kuhli loaches? Or any other kind of bottom dweller that would appreciate the sand substrate.
