75 gallon Firemouth species only Tank

Rubber lips require lower temperatures and high oxygen levels if I remember correctly
A group of bristlenose would be awesome.

I'll go with Bristle then since they like similar temps to the FM might do more then 2 BN then maybe 3? see if I can't find slightly older animals so I can tell if they are m/f as I heard 2 M will fight then again decent space.

3 should work and with all those pots and such should be plenty spacious

How is your firemouth tank doing?

 

[FiremouthGem]

building it slowly but getting there, got a nice looking resin root looking hide for a decent price, going to finish cleaning the sand, put some plants in and fill it here real soon.

I inow it doesn’t look like to much changed but here is a recent picture.

I setup my 75g with 10 T meeki and 5 green swordtails (1 m 4 f) and 2 bristlenose. Plenty of activity!!! Sorry about the crappy pic.

Loving your tank BoxerLover! Guessing you are waiting for pair offs? the meeki look great same with the swordtails of what I can see of both, how hard was it to find a decent driftwood trunk? All the places I looked I kept finding uninteresting pieces.

How low temps? Meeki do best in low-mid 70sF. They do well in high oxygen too despite some populations live in low oxygenated water. A room temperature room is all that is needed. No need for a heater.
