Thanks! The tank is 936 liters. 160x90cm and 65 cm high
It has alot of back to nature modules in it.

The stocking is much as you guessed:
25 Corydoras Sterbai
1 Golden nugget
1 Royal pleco L191
1 Sturisoma Aureum. Planning to be 4 later on.
20 bleeding hart tetras (Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma)
9 Geophagus Tapajos Orange heads
2 Heros sp red Shoulder or Rotkeils which are spawning every 3rd week. I have an old video of that as well:


I would like to add one more cichlid species but cannot really decide. Alternatives are:
Aequidens sp Janero Herrera (Diadema variant)
Tahuatinsuyoa Macantzatza
Geophagus Pellegrini
Cichlasoma Atromaculatum

Sweet jebus..... what a tank. With a near 1000 liter tank I would probs go for the Aequidens and the Inca Stone fish both would work in pairs in that tank even with breeding happening they wont get to substantial enough size as to cause problems for the other fish in there.

I really cant get over how awesome your tank is

I'm almost certain that I've seen this tank somewhere before. Although I could be very wrong!

It is certainly a beautiful tank and one envied by any cichlid keeper, even more so by Tapajo keepers like myself

I have posted here some time before and also then I got this very positive response. That is really great I must say! Although I make my tanks for my self it is still very nice to hear that other people appreciate it!

So thanks!
Anyone that go the Janero Herrera Aequidens with picture of adults I could watch. I have seen som fantastic pics but I'm not sure how manipulated they are...
