Tomorrow is fish day at the LFS. As much as I hate stepping foot in their store, I'm going to check out their new stock before they get a chance to infect them with goodness-only-knows-what. For final stocking, I'm thinking: Fish in green I already have in the tank, Fish in Blue I have in my house, Fish in Red I need to buy.
2 angelfish (a pair... will buy six as juveniles, when two pair off, rehome the other 4).
10 harlequin rasboras
10 cardinal tetras
4 neon tetras
6 panda corydoras
1 dalamation molly (she can't live much longer given her heavily stunted growth... expecting another six months, max.. She was a charity case that I took in who way outlived her life expectancy.)
2 otocinclus
+ 2 otocinclus (in my 10 gallon currently dealing with my algae issues and fattening up)
3 peppered corydoras
+ 3 peppered corydoras
1 starlight BN pleco
Possibly some marbled hatchetfish for a top-dweller... not sure on their compatibility with my other stocking choices, but I have plenty of time to do my research.
The tank is going to be densely planted, and heavily overfiltered (AquaClear70<rated 70 gallons>, AquaClear20<rated 20 gallons>, Penguin Bio-Wheel Mini <rated 20 gallons>). The heavy filtering means that there is also going to be a strong current across the top of the tank. Would Hatchetfish be okay with this?
Am I going to be pushing it with my final stocking, or would this stocking be alright?. (stocking anything larger than my 15 gallon throws me way out of whack.... lol).
Updated pic; only just planted and only partially done... still don't like it, but I'll get there. I'm new to the aqua-scaping and I'm missing a few of the plants I want.:
