Tank - 110 litre (24 gallons)
Substrate - sand and fine gravel
Filter - Interpet PF3, 800 l/hr flow with carbon, ceramic rings for the bacteria and mechanical filtration
Plants - hydrophila corymbosa 'siamensis', echinodorus mini fleur, anubias nana bonzai, juncus repens, hydrophila guanensis, hair grass (just listing their labels, lol)
Decorations - bog wood
Temp - 27 degrees C
pH - 7.5
It's nearly cycled, but we've had a bit of a blip so I doubt I'll be stocking for a month or so =(
Ideal stocking -
1 pair german blue rams
Trio of cockatoo dwarf cichlids
What else would be suitable? I have 4 corys that ideally need a bigger home - could they go in? What do I need to change to make the tank suitable for the cichlids? I know I need more hiding places - I'll be raiding my mother's potting shed when I get home!
I already have a shrimp and 7 neons in another tank, so don't really want to put similar beasties in this one. I'll be swapping the corys in my 60 litre for pygmy corys if I can move the corys into this tank.
What other plants would you recommend?
