Hi JonDawg

I like Option 3. However, if you are thinking about discus, you might want to change the C. juliis to C. sterbai. These are the beautiful corys that are often kept with discus because, unlike most corys, they like to be kept in warm water.

i like option 2

 

[guppy_man]

option 1 because they are cool fish that i have never had
ive always wanted kribs

 

[Nix]

I like option 1, although I'm not a fan of kissing gouramis

 

[rusty]

option 3 for me just corys are so cool

Option #2 for me, minus the gouramis... And discus like to be in groups of 6+.

[fishfishfish]

you will need atleast 2 petricola and they stay small.females only reach abot 4 inches males less
