Ideas For My 60L

[lilfishie]

Getting back into the hobby after a break, kept the 60 running but gradually all but the Amano shrimp has gone to the pond in the sky.
So time for a total revamp me thinks. i have sand substrate, two pieces of bogwood and going to go mid planted.

Stocking wise i am thinking:
10 Cardinals
2 Electric Blue rams (pair)

Then eventually maybe a pleco or few cories

pH 6.5
Temp 28

Any other suggestions welcome

how about a pair of kribs

 

[lilfishie]

thought about kribs if i can't get hold of the rams, but they are first choice because i saw them and instantly had to get some

ive just got a pair of kribs there well sweet but i do like rams .

i have never kept any cichlids before apart from a large group of angels years back now, i am more of a betta person but those guys changed my mind

saw a electric blue ram i was well tempted but i was good lol.

 

[lilfishie]

wish i could resist them, but i can't

what sort of price are rams ?

 

[kiriyama]

Small BN plec. ? Would you cut the numbers on the Cardinals slightly and add a small shoal of Lemon Tetras ? , give you a variation on colours......

 

[lilfishie]

they rams range between £15-£20 each, but i am in the process of hunting down a cheaper young pair.

i love lemon tetras had them in the past, didnt think of them though would be a nice choice, say 6 of each?

its funny when your looking for a fish you cant find them or they are over priced when you want to sell one you cant give them away lol .
