Stocking A 90g

[Matty]

I'm planning a complete overhaul of my 90g tank in the near future. Im talking converting my eheim into a wet/dry setup, sand for substrate, planting the tank, and restocking the tank completely. Right now, i'm thinking of a theme tank, like the amazon, or maybe asia, but im not really sure at this point. What I would like your opinion for is the type of fish I should stock my tank with, as well as how many of them would fit and what plants i should plant to suit these fish. I'm looking for active fish with nice colours. Also, ive had a few ideas for stocking. Let me bounce them off of you guys

Amazon Tank #1: 1 oscar, 3 blue acaras, 2 plecs and whatever else would fit safely

Amazon Tank #2: A whole bunch of angels and tetras

Amazon Tank#3: 4 red bellied piranhas, 20 neons (when the piranhas grow big enough to lose interest)

Amazon Tank#4: 2 oscars

Amazon Tank#5: New world chichlids

African Tank #1: Assorted African Chichlids, 1 dwarf electric catfish

Yeah, any/all input will be greatly appreciated...thanks guys!

Hi Matty,

You would probably receive a greater response in the chit chat section rather than in here

oscars don't do well with plants, or the opposite actually. oscars and most larger cichlids tend to dig them up and have them floating around.

here's what i did with my 90g

1 oscar, 3 clown loaches, 1 common pleco

These are the ones that will go with your planted idea.

'New Worlds' cover a whole wack of fish (including those angels) and if you choose the species carefully there are some that will go with your plants, but most of them are dwarfs.
