Hello,
My 170L tank is close to (fishlessly) cycled now, and so I am almost ready to stock <wahey!>.
It is currently modestly planted, but I intend on getting some more plants and also drift wood, rocks etc.
The substrate is pool filter sand, and the tank is quite overfiltered with an Eheim 2126.
Any feedback or suggestions welcomed.
3 x Burmese Border Loach (Botia Kubotai) = 30cm
I like odd looking fish, and already have snails!
I also like the look of Kuhli Loaches (Acanthophtalmus kuhli kuhli), but I am not sure about their snail eating efficiency.
3 x Swordtails (Xiphorphorus helleri) = 30cm
I’ve read that the fry will be eaten. Is it unethical to assume this will be the case and get 2 females and a male? Or should I get one sex only?
10 x Neon Tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) = 40cm
I like colourful shoals.
At a later stage I will get some shrimp (probably Caridina japonica).
I also want some catfish/pleco that look suitably alien EG: Something like Tiger shovelnose catfish are good, but Oto’s look a little normal. Any suggestions?
Thanks
