Stock list for my new Rekord 96!

[venom_1123]

Hi I recently got my Rekord 96 and I'm going to start decorating the tank with rocks, bogwood and plants as soon as my silicone sealant arrives. But until then I have been working out what fish to get and have come up with the following list, Just wanted to run it through you guys to see what you think of it.

A pair of Purple Cichlids (Pelvicachromis taeniatus)
5 Marble Hatchetfish
6 Tetras (either Glowlight, Emporer or Green Neons if I can find any)
1 Male Dwarf Gourami

Was also thinking about maybe a few small shrimps just to keep things clean. Anyway let me know what you think about the list, whether or not you think its good or needs to be changed.
Cheers
Alan

Tetra's like glowlights and neons don't make such great cichlid companions, they're timid, weak, and will be more stressed. The Emperor is a nice choice though, as well as the hatchets.
