What else would you add to my 180 gallon

[SandNukka15]

Well I knew pictus were active but after watching a few YouTube vids I've decided they are pretty much on coccaine so I've decided against them.

Still searching as of now... any more ideas?

I noticed my java fern has some blue green algae on it so as of now it's been all put into a 5 gallon bucket with blue green algaecide and an airstone... thinking about leaving it in there for a week or so and then maybe adding it to the 180.

Do the rams fight alot? I have 2 and the only thing they bother is each other and they're funny. I was thinking of 2 more.

Rams will always fight... it's better to have less males and it's usually hit or miss some Bolivian males will pick on all of them.

I originally had 6 about a year ago but have had these 4 for the last 8 months or so...

What size tank do you have and how much cover is there?

 

[Chief Tom]

49 gallon and plenty of hidey holes. They both have their own territory and joust in the middle. Think I'll leave them alone.

I'd leave them at 2 and add something else

Cory catfish?

I have 9 peppered cories right now I was thinking adding a diff type of fish.

I'd add three more angels. A trio is going to end up being a pair and a spare.

Something I have learnt over the years is not to stock a tank too quickly. Your taste in fish, or what you want from the tank will change. add a new something every few months. This way its also always changing and staying exciting.

Haha that’s how I ended up with 7 tanks and counting

I'm starting number 5 (for my wife ??) with 6 and 7 in the garage. Multiple tank syndrome is raging!

What about brachyrhamdia meesi? Smaller schooling catfish.
