[joedodge]

anyone have any stocking advice plants or fish i currently have 10 gymno quillero 1.5", and 9 lemon tetras and 5 black neons i was thinking a pleco or somthin like key holes but my tank is a lil small for all that i thought

 

[joedodge]

do you guys think a crencichla miuano could live in that tank with 1.5 inch gymnos its a 36" 58 gallon

I would think the pike would be inclined to eat the gymnos that small. How about a small school of cories?

i got a group of 6 paleatus at my lfs but they systimaticaly all died i think they were sick im not sure but that would be pretty cool if i got some that lived

Minuano won't likely eat the Gymnos, but, lemon tetras may disappear, depending on the size of the pikes. The corries like cooler water, I found them to be sensitive to heat, the ones I brought back from Uruguay in March were anyhow.
