Stock I have in mind...For the future :)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So I was thinking today and came up with what I think is the perfect stock for my "Self Given" Christmas Gift.
Hopefully I'll have a tank somewhere between 125-150. and Here's what I want to put in it.

Rainbow Cichlid pair
Super Red Jewel Cichlid Pair
Balzani Cichlid Pair
Nicaraguan Cichlid Pair
*Maybe some Black Angel

Black Ghost Knife
Columbian Tetra School
Serpae Tetra School
3 Clown Loaches
3 Corydoras (I already have them I just don't what kind they are)
Clown Pleco
2 Bristle-nose Pleco
3 Bumblebee Catfish

Any objections?

How about the
Rainbow pair( I already have them)
Nicaraguan Pair
Balzani Male
Jewel
Firemouth
1 BGK
3 Clown Loaches
3 Corydoras (I already have them I just don't what kind they are)
Clown Pleco( I already have him)
2 Bristle-nose Pleco
3 Bumblebee Catfish
How many Columbian Tetra & Serpae Tetra should be in my shoal?
....could I get some Angelfish in there?

And this will be planted! ;)


That could just be me but that sounds like a lot of pairs. I personally don't think you should have more than two pairs in a tank of that size. I would say to pick two pairs and go with that. The pleco might eat a few eggs but don't just count on that solving all the aggression problems.

Took your suggestion.
 
I like the not doing a Jewel pair idea. They can get testy.

I like the updated stock list, except that BGK will eat half the fish. They get huge.
 
Updated list looks better. I had a jewel that was a horrible fish to deal with. Just my experience. Angels and serpaes aren't a good mix either. Actually the only thing Ive found serpaes are good for is feeders. Very nippy fish. Id skip them altogether

Smh lol thinking about the BGK eating the schools of tetra and maybe a cory.

So should I get some silver dollars or some gourami?
