What Shall I Add Next

[Spank]

Hello everyone,

I've decided against keeping discus as they're slightly too time consuming and I don't have a huge amount of time to be consumed!! So now I've got some space in my tank to play with!! I'm thinking along the lines of other Sth American Cichlids like angels or emrald cichlids but would like some more ideas first!!

The tank is 5'X2'X2, 120 Gallons
Current stocking is

2X Festivum
2X Cockatoo Dwarf
3X yoyo loach
6X Adolfoi Cories
4X Congo Tetra
3X Dutch rams
6X Ottos

mmm, I think that's it. The tank is fully prepared for Discus so pH is 6.5 and RO water is used. The Tank is also quite heavily planted with CO2 injection and over 2WPG lighting.


THanks for all your suggestions
Hank

well first id up the numbers on most of your fish.

2X Festivum
2X Cockatoo Dwarf
3X yoyo loach add another 3 of these
6X Adolfoi Cories
4X Congo Tetra add atleast another 2-4 of these
3X Dutch rams
6X Ottos

once youve upped there numbers, i would think something like 4 angels would be nice. that would make your stocking

4 angels
2 feivums
2 cockatoo dwarfs
6 yoyo loach
6 adolfi corys
6/8 congotetras
3 dutch rams
6 otos

mmmm nice stocking

i'd get a few more cockatoo's as they do better in groups with a ratio of 1m:2/3f

i'd also get at least 2 more congo's, best in a group of 6+ (actualyl i'd get more as they're one of my favourite fish

also i think some preacox rainbows would look lovely, as would rummy nose tetra's
