Looks nice!
I just realized ya'll are both from Texas. Whereabouts?Pretty!
Yeah I'm a Texans guy myself. Unfortunately Cowboys fans can support the Texans when in the playoffs, but Texans fans are labeled as Blasphemers if they support the Cowboys Lol. It's a shame.Ft. Hood till Nov. Then I have to abandon my Cowboys to Falcon land "Georgia" I'll probably be stoned "shot" when I go everywhere in my cowboys jerseys
Anyway post pics when you get stocked! They are gonna love that big tank
I would get boesemanis if I had the money for them. But they usually go from $11-$20 each around here, and they need to be kep in a group of 6, more to get their more extravagant colors. They're pretty active and due to the big group of red eyes and such, I think a group of 6 is the last thing you could fit in regards to middle-top dwelling fish.Ok, so I have my first inhabitants. I introduced a school of 15 redeye Tetras into the tank on Saturday. They seem at home by today and seem to have fun zipping back and forth across the front glass. Schools of fish are so cool. . I am the worst when it comes to having a definitive plan. I always change my mind. So It will be a few weeks before I add any more tank inhabitants. What I have not changed my mind on is a pair of Rams and a pair of Apistogrammas. I like the Boesemanis too, but there is a guy in town who has posted young Angelfish in need of re homing. It looks like his fish Bred! I was wondering If anyone had opinions on Angels vs. Boesemanis. And how Either will fair with the rams, apistos, and redeyes. My tank is 2 feet tall. Thanks

Honestly, after seeing the dwarf rainbows at my LFS, I was jealous that they weren't compatible with my tanks (due to either big fish or too much fish already). a good group of them would be much nicer imo.
Did your tank really cycle? Seems like that went by really quickly
In regards to angels, you could probably also fit a single or pair with the red eyes and the boesemanis/dwarf rainbows. But a group of 6 would not be advisable unless you knock out the rainbows completely and just have them with the school of red eyes. Some angelfish can be very aggressive, so keep that in mind. Usually angels get along fine with dwarf cichlids, but it really depends on the angels temperament.
Other fish that could work in place of the angels (and are usually less aggressive) are festivums or pearl gouramis.
on a side note, your tank is gorgeous in comparison to how plastic/silk tanks usually look.
