Alright, looks like I’m going sand , I can find it cheap too. Thanks!

Yeah I’ve had problems with sand getting into the impeller before as well. And I’ve only really grown anything in gravel. Sand just looks way more natural. It’s going to be a tough decision. Thanks for your input I’ll take it into consideration.

Tank will be a 40 breeder, so roughly 36”x17”x17. I failed to mention I’m keeping a smaller version of this stock already in a 20 long. I’ve had 3 praecox, 3 cherry barbs, the dwarf gourami, otos, and a school of corys for months now with no problems whatsoever . I would be able to feed the otos...

I was planning on sand , would swords and val work with this substrate ? And root tabs of course

Should I go with the ac 70? Or two ac 50s? I’m thinking just regular play sand for the substrate . The stock is a little bit on the high side but with and established tank it’s nothing to be concerned about with weekly water changes .

I’ll be getting a 40 breeder in the next couple of months and wanted to share my plans / stocking. Stocking: 8 Emerald Corydora 8 Cherry Barb 4 M 4 F 8 Praecox rainbows 4 M 4 F 4 Otos 1 Flame DG 1 Pair of apisto Are there any possible issues with this stocking? I’d also might add fish as I go...

Ok, thanks for the help. Do you know of any other compatible “centerpiece” type fish ?

I meant 20 long. Are they territorial even when not in pairs ? My dg doesn’t seem to be territorial. If apisto won’t work, do you think a Bolivian ram would? I appreciate the input .

I have a planted 20L with 4 otos, 6 zebra danios, and a powder blue male dg. DG hasn’t shown any aggression towards dither fish. I want to add a male apisto but don’t know how it will work out . Any advice / experience with this combo ?
