UARU tank mate tetras and corys?

[Kingster]

HI yall!

Was wondering, could I put silver hatchets and emerald corys with Uaru
hatches = 2.75 inchs
Emerald Cory = 3 inchs

thanks!

I have 5 Uarus and 10 emerald corys in a tank. No problems at all. No hatchets, but I do have some Columbian and diamond tetras in there. They all do fine together.

That sounds like a good looking tank

hi, I would love to see that, how big is the tank?

It's 8 long x 3 wide x 2 high. A couple of photos attached. Also some Geos, red Rainbowfish, madagascar rainbows, filament barbs, scissortails and chocolate cichlids.

Which of does are south American besides the chocolate cichlids, geos, and uaru. I was wondering, is 4 uarus, 1 severum, 12 corys, 12 tetras, and 3 red head tapojoas too less to fill a 120 gallon 5' x 18" x 26"

The Festivum and Corydora are SA.

Forgot to mention that I also have thread-fin acaras and ottos in there (both American). The uaru don't even seem to worry the little ottos. I've never kept Severums, so can't comment on them. But the others are probably all fine together. Your tank holds about one third the volume of mine, but you are proposing a lot less biomass than me, so it's probably okay. I do 50% water change weekly. There is 3 x FX6s all down one end, twin wave makers down other end to ensure good water circulation. I also have UV sterilisers.

would one fx6 work?
Also what would you say are the cons for UV sterilizers and how do you keep them, are they worth the trouble in my aquarium
