I'm planning 1200 litre tank for discus after I've settled into the new place.
This is what the stocking I'm looking at is:
8 discus (probably LSS)
40 rummynose tetra
30 sterbai cory
5 L183 starlight plec
It might look low for that size, but I prefer underpopulated tanks, and anyway it's a lot easier to buy new fish and add them than catch them and have to rehome them.
Thing is, I've had this population before, albeit in smaller numbers, and while I'm happy with it I'm wondering if there could be something I haven't thought of, or some fish I don't know about, so I'm here asking for suggestions for tank mates.
No more cichlids though, I want the only ones in this tank to be discus. I'll be setting up a separate tank for rams.
Also it'll have to be South American, preference given to amazon fish.
