That was my next question! Haha thanks for reading my mind! I think ill enter one of my corys into the FOTM comp for next month! Ill try get an exceptional picture and stun you all

Stunning mate. What tank is it?

 

[jpeterson]

It just a community tank, Atm it isnt even stocked. It only has 5 corys, 5 harlequins and 5 black neons. When i stock it, it will have

10 harlquins
10 lemon tetras
10 corys
8 rainbow fish(dunno which type yet)
6 keyhole cichlids(2 untill paired)

The tank is 164l and dimensions are 39" x 16" x 16"

Thats a fine stocking list you have there. I wouldn't add any rainbowfish bigger than Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish to it though.

Well, i was thinking either rainbows or a trio of cockatoos. What do you think?

 

[Carlovel1]

A trio Of Cockatoos, I would do this
10 harlquins
10 lemon tetras
10 corys
3 Cockatoo Cichlids
3 keyhole Cichlids

 

[jpeterson]

Remember, the Keyholes will be down to 2 once they pair up! So I would be getting the trio after they keyholes pair!

The stocking sounds good.
I wouldnt have Keyholes and Cockatoos in a 160l imo the keyholes would bully them. What about a big group of checkerboard cichlids instead or maybe dwarf flag cichlids. Or even 4 Geophagus iporangensis there one of the best looking fish IMO but they will cost you.

 

[Carlovel1]

Ok, I thought it wouldnt be a good idea to add 6 Keyholes and 3 Cockatoos at the same time, there would probably be a lot of aggression. In that case I would get 6 Keyholes, but only add the 3 cockatoos AFTER the 2 keyholes have paired up

Keyholes are quiet peaceful fish though. Should't be too back, OR i could get some Colombian Red Tails?

I disagree, there is enough space for both species and as long as there are caves for each species at different ends of the tank is should be fine. Not to mention the tank is very heavily planted and Keyhole Cichlids are very peaceful

Yeah but the problem is if they breed they wont like the Apisto being around or other bottom dwellers like corys so i think it would be best to stick to one type of cichlid/dwarf cichlid.
