How Does This Sound

[Shadow_Africa]

I plan on breeding Kribs.

How does this sound for stocking
12+ Pork Chop Rasboras
5 Otto cats
6 Kuhli Loaches
1 Dojo Loach
2 Kribs
[Maybe] 2-4 Upside Down Catfish

I may add a few more Fish that will get the same size as the Pork Chops to add a little color but Ill have to see wht my LFS stocks, otherwise I might just make it 16-20 Pork Chops.

Its a 55gallon, heavily planted [20+ plants] Bogwood and a nice rock cave. My fish can easily hide and find space.

Right now I have 5 Ottos, the 12 pork Chops, 1 dojo and 3 Kuhli loaches. I plan on adding the kribs last

I was wondering if there was any way I could add one or a pair of Bolivian Ram I just love them they are so cute.

No, but all your other fish are top dwellers- that makes a big difference.

I would leave out the kribs for the sake of the khuulies.

I have a pair of kribs that breed in a 60 gal. I wouldnt try anything that likes the bottom of the tank. The parent kribs will beat the hell out of them. You also have to make sure everything else in the tank is fast! I use serpaes and black skirts. I was worried about trying ottos but they actually do quite well... for some reason the kribs ignore them for the most part and when they do take notice the ottos are surprisingly quick when the need to be.

Swords are a lot sturdier, mentally speaking, than khuulies.
