Planted 55

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Never was a fan of the kribs, wish I liked them one of my local lfs, carries them and they always have them(to the point that idk if they sell them at all), I really like the eba, could I get away with 2 or should I keep it a single ? I do like the butterfly fish though, I don't care if its not biotope correct, I can feel duanes duanes
Eye twitching because of that from here lol

Yes, I wasn't going to comment at all, because you lost me with the electric blue acara, even though I'm a cichlidiot, I don't want any designer cichlids in my tanks.
EBAs, EBJDS, BPs, red severums, pastel oscars, are all in the same categories (to me) as glow fish, bug eyed goldfish, sunken pirate ships, burping clams, miniature Greek Pantheon's, and/or red or blue gravel.
To each their own, but my tendency is to have my head so far up my anal passage as to want to have geographically relevant tanks sometimes down to single lake biotopes.
I do think the OPs tank looks great just as is, and wouldn't add anything else. But..... I consider Jeaninel's geographically correct suggestions fabulous (don't hold it against her). They go with AKF, don't eat or destroy plants, and probably won't outgrow the tank, at least for a while.

My wife's the one that wants the eba she loves the blue fish, I do like the idea of the ctenopoma and cts though
