some eartheater tankmate advice

[joedodge]

well i have my 36" 58 gallon tank driftwood, river rocks and pfs. i currently have 10 gymno quillero 1to1.5" growouts im planning to keep the nicest 6 and 9 lemon tetras and 5 black neons. im looking for tankmate advice for this tank. i was thinking of a royal pleco i would love another sev but that would get cramped i thought. any ideas are welcome please i have a empty 75 gallon the my get set up so inhabitants will need to remain for life in the 58 or the 75 thanks for the help and expierence offered.

Well it really depends. with the tetras you can't get bichirs, larger aggressive fish etc. I would recommend some rare plecos, order them online or find a good lfs and start collecting and/or breeding them. Or get another severum, i personally think that 2 severums with a few tetras and a pleco is fine in a 58g, but maybe not longterm, they grow really slow though. Good luck and picturesssssss

well i would like to keep my geos in there tho this would be in addition to them

I think a green or blue phantom pleco would look great in your setup, and they don't usually grow past 7-8".

ill have to look that one one up sounds realy cool, im not real familiar with them but thought it could be an awsome addition

woah there crazy pricey on aquabid

 

[HiImSean]

are you planning a cool down period for them?

add some rams...?

 

[joedodge]

i would like to do one but living in florida i cant get my apartment below 76 even with the cool weather, rams are a possibility how many

 

[joedodge]

would something like key holes go ok in there or would you guys stick with a species tank with just the gymnos
