I know I am asking about this a lot and havent come to a decission yet, so still doing research.
I am looking for maybe a good bottom dweller for my setup, talking about the large tank
120x50x60 cm. On the bottom I have 4 bolivian rams which spawn regularly every two or three weeks, they will lay eggs and guard 5x5 cm territory, in 3 days wigglers are moved a lot over the tank, again guarding only smaller part of the tank, after 3 days free swimming fry, parents guard larger part of the tank, 10x10 at least, 3 days later the fry is gone, being eaten by the other bolivian rams. I am ok with this scenario, they never harm any of my fish, as corydoras will get out of their way.
I was thinking to get something that may reside on the bottom but will not be harmed or harassed or pushed out of its territory by the bolivian rams. Options I have:
some sort of whiptail, introducing two or so tunnels and having a trio.
10 or plus kuhli loaches, a coconut cave or more, there are lot of roots and stuff and all sand
a pleco. I havent had one in over 10 years as they are poop machines, but maybe I am missing out?
btw in the past week or so I decided to get an angelfish, decided against it, an acara, against it, congo tetras, against it, cherry barbs, danios, black phantom tetras, brilliant rasboras,... horrible with me, I know. I want the right fit
