Stocking For A Pfk Nano

[scouse_andy]

Cheers for all your help. I had a look on Ebay saw a cheap Jebo for a 10 gallon from States but postage looked extortionate.

Sorry to be a pain but would you mind telling me a couple of product numbers and I'll look them up?

Cheers.

Isnail, do you think I could realistically manage 5 gertrudes, 5 boraras, 5 habrosus with the internal filter alone? a fair amount of planting to help filtration.

Not sure about the shrimp, largely because I hear they're good escapologists and there is the gap all the way round between the lid and the side. Same with snails, this nano tank is next to the sofa in the living room and I think the missus would have a fit if shrimp or snail escaped!

I'm not familiar with the internal filter that comes with the PFK cube . 5 Habrosus may be a little too many IMO since they are a little larger than the Hastatus and Pygmaeus. I know it's better to have groups of 5 or 6 for shoaling fish but I have 2 Hasbrosus and they still school together happily and sometimes they school with other fish and even shrimps.

I think I'd prefer to go with 5 gertrudes and 5 corys (hastatus or habrosus) and leave the boraras, they would largely occupy the same region of the tank as the gertrudes anyway.

Thanks for your help.

Nice .... Hastatus is more of a mid-water swimmer if I remember rightly. Hasbrosus is definitely bottom.... well mine are anyway LOL
