i'v decided to go dicus, instead of reef becuase of runnig cost, and would like some help in the fish selections
I'm planning on a 170 US gallon tank in which i want to keep disucs, angelfish, some bottom feeder, one or two kinds of tetras and a few "other" fish. I will be filtering the tank with a magnum 350 (is this enough...i read it is sutible for a 250 gallon tank) have a couple of heaters in the tank to keep it at a warm 28 degrees
1) I'v read many conflicting views about keeping angelfish and discus together, and don't know what to beleive
2) Is it possible to keep Congo Tetras in a south American set-up? I will also be keeping some neon/glolights
3) I'm hoping to use a few varieties of cory's as my bottom feeders, will the larger fish eat my catfish?
4) My dad wants to know if upside-down catfish can be kept in such a tank, becuase these are probably his favourite fish
5) what type of lighting would be best, and how much of it?
If you have any suggestions about fish selctions, please share you ideas here
Thanks for Helping
