450L Tank - What Would You Stock And Why?!

[Wills]

Yeah to be fair I did the list based around the fact that the geos are stupidly slow growing and if bought young enough it will work well for a decent amount of time. I also did the large list as Ryan isnt 100% on the stock to keep at the moment so I know the tank is likely to evolve over time probably exchanging fish for other options over time.

haha yeah I mean I love big plecs and small plecs for that matter but in tanks where numbers and diversity are important I just think that they fill a good niche spot in a tank without dishing out the poop. I mean at the end of the day depending on species 2/3 - 1/2 of their body is just spine so they get to a decent size without all the pooping

I'm also contemplating some Thorichthys Ellioti, JDs and Blue Acaras... What would I have to remove to have a pair (or more) of these?

Yeah the list would require some heavy relisting, and also with things like the JDs not sure how the rams would fare or any of the dwarfs to be fair.

I'd be keen to swap the 4 Geophagus Surinimensis for a pair of Blue Acaras... Would that be doable?
