Roseline sharks would look nice in it. But they are from southern India. How are the Hoplo's?

Unfortunately the hoplos, which were in quarantine, turned out to have ich, so they'll be staying there for a while. And that also means I won't be able to pick up the spotted metynnises I'd planned to get.

I finally moved my rosy tetras to the big tank, but since I can't get the metynnises, I'm basically back to square one as far as stocking plans go.

stocking suggestions: shoal fish= Lemon or Diamond tetras ,Pearly Rasbora. For pairs= Chocolate Gourami (2" full grown), Honey Gourami (also 2"), or 2 pairs of Croaking Gourami (2-3"), New Guinea Rainbows in group of at least 6 with more than one male in the group.​
