Hi all shall keep it short the tank is 190l, over filtered and R.O water will be used. Its also planted.

Am thinking:
A pair of discus (proven pair)
A elephant nose (maybe more depending on what is in stock and how they are) there is one in a tank with some discus atm and all seems fine...
Lots of shrimps
Clown plec (is in there atm and will be staying)
A few zebra snails maybe...
A pair of rams
A pair of apistos

Maybe's
Hatchets
Ottos
Rummy nose tetras

Any thoughts? am thinking the am thinking list is about fully stocked what do you reckon? Am thinking (again) that a couple of hatchets and rummy's wouldn't make much difference then just thought the hatchet would finish it of nicely.

Feel free to make amendments and disagree with any of it lol

:)
 
Seems okay, as long as the Discus are a proven pair. The clown pleco may also end up taking the slime coating off the Discus so I would consider possibly taking him out. I'm not sure how well Ottos do with Discus but I think they may also try to take the slime coating...
 
It seems like a fine list, but you won't get any eggs from that proven pair as long as you have that many fish. They will be bugged and will have some eggs eated, especially if you get ottos. The top list and rummy nose tetras from the maybes are a fine fully stocked tank.
 
yeh thought the same about the ottos ill leave them out as the shrimps should handle anything they would anyway. I'm not really interested about the discus breeding them atm but am sure after ive had them a while i'll want a bigger tank for more lol
