salvini's and a flame red pike cichlid would be cool

 

[BenSow]

doesnt wow me lol... any other suggestions?

 

[JacobWhitley]

get a Festae if you want wow factor

 

[BenSow]

nah... not cichlids.. bored with 'em lol.. Anything more.. EXOTIC? hmm.. clown loach or bala shark seem nice.. have never kept them before..

you did mention you're placing a pleco in it right? which plecos did you have in mind anw?

 

[BenSow]

a common plec.. he's about 4inches..

 

[dryads2]

was thinking that you could use plecos to provide the desired exotic-ness you want, perhaps an L114 or something, although thats not a rare pleco to get. clown loaches, you'll have to get mature ones, definitely, though as they grow to something like 12 inches shouldnt be a big problem for the tank.

prob is fancy plecs make my wallet bleed... If Im going for those plecs id use them for breeding and not for display lol...

 

[dryads2]

haha. well how much do 'fancy' plecos go for in KL? they're usually my showpiece fishes, for eg, an L91 as the showpiece for my 50 gal.
