72 bowfront update

[ckcdrummer]

Hello everybody, I haven't done an update on my tank in awhile so I figured I should do one now, here's my 72 gallon bowfront, I'm running it on a cascade 1500 rated for 200 gallons, an aqueon 250W heater and a 260W coralife lighting system.

My current stock list is -
- 6 geophagus altifrons
- 10 clown loaches
- an ornate bichir

I don't really have any plans for any future pick ups but I'm open to suggestions, let me know what you think!

your stock list already needs an upgrade, atleast a 180 with those fish, then you may be able to add more fish.

No, I know, this is just a grow out for them, they'll be put in a bigger home once they grow out of this tank.

I would have to disagree with that^^^ the fish he has and the sizes that they are in that tank is perfectly fine for now and CL grow crazy slow I would suggest maybe adding some schooling tetras like cardinals or rummy nose to add contrast if you were looking to add something

Yeah I heard the clown loaches only grow like an inch a year so I figured they would be fine for now, and I do like the idea of tetras but wouldn't they be a problem with the geophagus? I have 4 geos that are each an inch or so and then I have 2 larger ones that are around 4 inches. Wouldnt they eat the tetras? I was thinking maybe some rose line sharks cause there a little bigger.
