Stiphodon percnopterygionus

I keep a few species of Stiphodon in my 60G and they are definitely interesting fish, but definitey prefer a well established tank, as they feed off algae and bio-film...

There won't be much rockery and such for biofilm :(
 
Establish the tank first maybe over a few months, but keep some real-estate space for the future additions...

They'll love my tank tank. The algae grows faster than I can clean it.
 
Idk if you get them in SA, but I've always found Elassoma sp. To be a beautiful and very interesting small fish.

Maybe time to consider adding some... i mean to be fair i do still feed the tank with frozen sprinular krill, regular krill, blood worms etc...

So they do get supplemented a little bit in diet...

I may add some when I order my shrimp. I plan to add 20 Amanos, 10 blue diaminds, and 10 crystal reds. Along with that I plan to add 10 more Neri tell snails, 13 in total. Hopefully those along with 3 gobies should fish my algae issues.

Pygmy sunfish are cool but doubt I'll get them along with the gobies.

Right now I have my eyes set on lampeye killifishm they seem to be ideal :)

Sounds like it could be an interesting tank...

I'm done with the algae. I decided that's the best way to deal with it. I set the light to half the intensity and stopped the co2 a month ago. The algae still came back back, even after dosing algaecide.

I've cleaned the entire tank top to bottom before and it's back in 3 days. Covers the entire tank in 5. I need a rather large clean up crew to get rid of it.
