a few qs aboat my new project

alright heres the idea it is going to be a 75 gal planted oddball west african tank. i would like to keep the plants african but depending on the price of them or if i can find them around here i could wind up with sword and the like from s/a the stock list for fish is going to look like this

1. 2 pelvichromis pulcher
2 4 pantodon buchholzi
3 1 to3 xenomystus nigri african brown knife
4. 4 ctenopoma acutireostre

also was woundering if a school of glass cats or cango tetras would work in this tank any ideas on stock would be helpful thank you

Any anubias will do. They are african, tough as nails, and tolerate low light, higher pH, and limited nutrients.

Conga tetras would be great. Dunno about the glass cats, but you can try them.

I´m also researching for an african oddball tank. Crinum natans are a beautiful african plant that are hardy.
have you considered on have steatocranus casuaris? heres info http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1353.

sounds good to me, although if you want cichlids in there, why not go with buffaloheads instead of the kribs, for more of an oddball look

What about an elephant nose? I think it will be a great addition in your tank.
