the tank that actually kinda maybe works

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
@duanes might know
judging that
You can add more than that, personally I think endlers guppies would be pretty cool

Max stocking list idea... AQADVISOR is conservative so 140% seems maxed out with the following:
3 x Uaru Cichlid (Uaru amphiacanthoides)
3 x Pictus Catfish (Pimelodus pictus)
2 x Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis)
9 x Colombian Tetra (Hyphessobrycon columbianus) DONE
6 x Albino Cory (Corydoras aeneus) DONE
1 x Black Ghost Knife Fish (Apteronotus albifrons) DONE
2 x Red Striped Eartheater (Geophagus surinamensis) DONE
3 x Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
2 x Clown Pleco (Panaque maccus)
5 x Keyhole Cichlid (Cleithracara maronii)

stocking == 140%
 
Guppies would be nice, but if I were you, I would breed them in small tank since I'm pretty sure that BGK will instantly eat them. My small polly enjoys hunting guppy fry and doesn't rest till all the fry are caught.

About the shrimps: I'd recommend 1 vampire and 1 bamboo - they are very similar.

You said "supposedly cycled media", I would suggest "not" adding any more fish, until you do a few weeks worth of regular testing for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate to find out if the media really is cycled, and if it has a large enough population of bacteria to support what is already there in the tank.
New tanks can be fragile as far as water quality goes, and all it takes is to put one too may new fish at once, and could crash.
