tetras and cories for an atabapo biotope

[ceeej31]

i posted the same thing on AC but i figured i would as here too

Over the next few weeks i will be setting up my new 90g and my plan is to try and make a rio atabapo biotope. my planned stock list is as follows:
2x Heros severus sp. atabapo
15-20x Hemigrammus bleheri
2-3x Dekeyseria sp. L052
i would like to add another school of tertas and possibly some corydoras catfish to the mix if possible. so far the only other kind of tetra that i could find that is native to the river are cardinals, which i dont think will work out with the severums. does anybody know any other types of tetras or cories that are native to the atabapo?

Props on doing such a particular biotope tank. The best I can manage is Orinoco basin, etc. type of tank.

Wish I could give you some info on Atabapo tetras or corys. Sounds like a cool tank.

the severums went in on saturday, the tetras are coming in wednesday afternoon, along with some spotted headstanders and two banjo cats (not exactly found in the atabapo but the price was too good to pass up

as of right now the stock is:
2x heros severus
18x rummy noses (i ordered 20 but i lost 2 of them last night to shock)
6x spotted headstansers
2x banjo cats
1x s. leucostica (i had him in the tank to help cycle it but now i dont feel like catching him, so i'll let him stick around a while)
