Right now I am leaning towards adding some pictus cats, convicts, and firemouths. Any recomendations as to how many of each? I read online the pictus need to be kept in a school, so Im thinking maybe four. A nice male and female convice. Two or three firemouths would be nice. Does this sound like too much? I thought about doing a festae, but Im thinking they might be too big to add. Im still open to options ... this is just what Im thinking for now.
Aslo, when looking at my tank ... the right back corner I plan on adding a manzanita wood "root" looking structure hanging from the top. I just cut down a large tree in my front yards and there are a lot of very nice branches I can use, but Im not sure what type of tree it is or how safe it is to add. Ill have to research that. Would it be wise to add some plants to provide some cover for the new additions? There are several large caves in the tank, but I figured adding more cover may help accomodate more fish. I have plenty more rock to build up more caves, but I kind of like the ammount of rock in there now.
