D. Microlepis tank

Thank you so much for all of your replies. To answer many of your concerns about tank size, I am currently a senior in high school, so my parents dont want anything too big (a 46 is the limit), however, in about two years or so i can definitialy upgrade to a much larger tank (i.e. 200+). In the meantime Ill probobly upgrade again next year to about a 75 or 100 gallon (48"-60" long x 18"-24" wide).

I've been there before...limits are no fun. If your upgrading in a year, you should be fine with the dats.

Don't forget to post pics.

Indo tank....Sounds great! LoL. I have a 30g that I use as a plant/nursery tank. My current stock in the 30g is 5 indo gold archers, 2 black kuhlii loach, 8 kuhlii loach, 4 clown loach, 4 slaty blue nandus, 3 nandus nandus, 2 butterfly loach, 3 royal pleco, 3 leopard cactus pleco, 1 skunk cory, 1 adolfi cory, 4 sterbai cory, 3 san juan cory, and 40 indo dats. Every month or so I harvest the larger dats and move them into bigger tanks. Its kinda funny when I think about how much fish I cram in that tank but with all the anubias barteri It looks like I only have a few.

If 46 is the largest you can have, I would stick with just the dats and loaches. You'll be able to enjoy them for a while, but eventually they'll outgrow the tank.

Gotta watch out for those growth sperts **** hits the fan and thats the biggest u got its gonna get messy.
