135 stocking suggestions

[Sfgiant_cichlids]

Upgrading from a 75 to a 130 gallon fx5 and 2
Current stock is a Rotkeil severum about 1.5 inches and 5 blood fin tetras


Any suggestions of what else I can add ? What's a good combination ?





Heres a list of combinations i came up with


1 rotkei

1 chocolate cichlid
5 geo red head tapajos or threadfin geo
6 roseline sharks
10 bloodheart tetras


1 green texas
1 managuense
1 royal pleco or sailfin pleco

Also, One of my good friends has a pink convict male and reg convict female pair that he is willing to give away. In a 135 gallon, what other species would work with them?

I'd go with your first option, more fish, less aggression. Second one has potential doom for your current fish.

Oh and sorry for the typos.. Filtration will be 2 aquaclear 110's and 1 fx5

question..? what type of sa ca ciclihds are best kept with roseline sharks?

 

[axs377]

As far as filtration that sounds like plenty. As far as what to keep with the sharks? Anything less aggressive or not a total pig like an Oscar that could eat them...lol

I would do 6 Roselines and 10-12 of the cories.

Sounds good! One question though , i know roselines and corys are best kept in groups so what would be the best # for both species but the absolute minimum? The reason why i ask is because i dont want too much on the bioload. From what ive read corys , roselines and geos are best kept in pristine water conditions.
