Thanks for the quick reply,
Would i not be in danger of overstocking with them levels? (sorry im not aware of how many i can have in a tank this size)
I quite would like some more shrimps and rainbow fish, and i must admit i like the corys, can you not mix different types as i quite liek the look of panda corys?
Not sure on 3 bristlenose as the grow quite big wouldnt they all get teritorial?

Love the pics! Just wondering what substrate it is and where you got it from. Wouldn't mind some for the tank i'm going to be doing soon.

I would say not at all. If you are worried, stock up slowly and see if you come across any problems.

Eh, that depends on who you talk to.. I personally think it is best to keep schools of each species, but some people do keep a mix successfully. I think species schools show them off at their best.

Ehch, careful there! When I last looked, that stuff was dyed and the dye comes off after a few years..

p.s. The Bristlies should be fine, but do get one male and two females. If you have more than one male, they will fight quite viciously. Most Bristlenose plecos will only grow to 4-5", and females are smaller than males, normally. There is one species which grows considerably larger, but they are not common and if you get one of those by chance, they are quite valuable and would be easy to re-home.
