I have a 100 gallon aquarium from which I recently removed all mbuna. No offense to those who love mbuna, but I prefer a more tranquil aquarium, and having a bunch of scrappy little misfits darting around pestering one another does not a peaceful aquarium make.
I am completely restocking the tank and I would like to know if you see any problems with any of these fish going together. I am an experienced fish-keeper, but I have no experience with these particular fish. Below are all the choices. Please note I am not necessarily planning to include all of these; but I would like to know if any fish from the list would not be compatible. Thank you in advance for your help.
pair of gold severum (these are the centerpiece fish and WILL be going in the tank)
dwarf rainbows
congo tetras
serpae tetras
zebra loaches (I have concerns with these interfering with breeding, so I may opt for a school of corydoras instead)
firemouths or geophagus (while I would prefer some type of geophagus, the only species typically available in my area are g. jurupari, which grow to such a size that they would compete with the severum as centerpieces, so I will probably be going with the firemouths)
I appreciate any comments and welcome any suggestions you may have.
