Getting towards the end of the cycle

[benzonar]

Thoughts are turning to stocking.

Ok I have a Rio 180 planted tank with two nice bits of bogwood and a couple of coconut half shells.

So far I am thinking of getting

1 pair of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus (either Dehane, Bipindi or Moliwe)
1 pair of Bristle nose ancistrus
3 or 4 Botia striata (or possibly lochata)
6 amano shrimps

For dithers I am thinking of some Gardineri killifish, possibly about 6 but open to suggestions.

Girlfriend also wants me to get a pair of German Blue Rams, but obviously that could be problematic with the Taeniatus. Advice appreciated.

Anyone think of what else I could get?

cheers

Buellar?

The 1961 Ferrari, two-fifty GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion . . .

It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

Anyway... Sounds pretty good to me. The shrimp would probably be food in there though, don't you think?

One possible addition?
Anomalochromis thomasi
Congo (or other medium sized, non-nippy) tetras

Anomalochromis thomasi also known as butterfly or dwarf jewel cichlids are excellent fish to have. ive got a pair of my own. they are fairly easy to look after and can tolerate a wide range of water conditions. just make sure your tanks well planted because they can be a bit scared if you look at them
