I am in the process of working out an idea. I was thinking about setting up a 75 gallon planted tank, which would share a sump with my 180. This would help me reduce nitrates, increase the water volume, and divide my stock a bit so that I can make room for larger lower jaws. My big girl ornate and koliba are beginning to get quite nippy towards these smaller guys.
My question is how rough are the smallest upper jaws on plants? I dont want to go through the hassle of setting the tank up just to have them trash it.
The stocking would be:
8-9" CB Del
8-9" CB Lap (I guess its a dud because it hasnt grown in almost a year and was never in a tank smaller than 75 gallons)
6-7" Retropinnis
8-9" Moke
8-9" Palmas Palmas
2x 8-10" Senegals
I cant bring myself to sell these guys anymore, especially the 8" sen. He was my first fish.
