my new stock list

[L.corteil]

hi all im fairly new to the planted side of aquarium keeping i have a 52x18x25 custom made tank and have been keeping all kinds of cichlids in it
i have fallen in love with my geos as i have a breeding group of geophagus steindachneri (red hump) but my aquascaping is a bit boreing
ive wanted to do a planted tank for a while and been sucsessful with finding a way to stop my geos (eartheaters) uprooting and eating my plants

i dont plan on having a huge amound of plants just somthing to devide the tank up and add some green colour to the tank

i will be stocking

geophagus steindachneri (own these) 1 5" male and his 4 females ranfing from 3"to about 5"
a shoal of somthing (need ideas) maybe tiger barbs or some sort of barb or mabe a huge shoal of some form of tetra or somthing small
a clean up crew (some form of shrimp or a couple of small cats)


i dont want to use hugely complicated co2 systems im running a cheap
Tetra Plant Co2

system

i need some help with plants
what do u recoment and do u think my stock list is wise or am i making a mistake
dont be shy i can take the abuse

Tetra Plant Co2
