Stocking An 80 Litre

[wooch]

hi guys i have just finished cyling a new 80 litre planted tank

0 ammonia 0 nitrites 30 or so ppm nitrates

and was just wondering how you could stock it

i love the idea of some peppered and /or albino corys, electric rams and some kind of small tetra would that be too much?

1 pair Rams
10 Tetras of one species (Cardinals, Yellow, etc) OR maybe 15 Espei Rasboras?
6 Corys of one species

That should leave room for a little more stock with time, but I think it is a good base to start with.

Corys need sand and it is nicer to not mix species, although if you have a few fish of each species, it should work.

Corys need to be kept in groups of atleast 4. Blue rams would work in a tank this size but they ned higher temps 28-32.
In a 80L if you really want the rams you could go for
2 Electric blue rams (1m 1f)
15 Rummynose tetra
8 Sterbai corys
and have the temp about 28C.

if you dont want to give up the other fish you could go for
8 Peppered corydoras or Albino corydoras
8 Lemon tetras
3 Apistogramma agassizii (1m 1f)
