I just got "permission" for the OH to upgrade my current 60l (I say my- it was the kids really!!!) to a 120-H (120x45x60). Its not arrived yet, but I thought I'd indulge myself thinking about what to put in it, and there's nothing better than advice from experts!
I intend to have a hi-tech panted tank on aquasoil with red moor root and a few stones, with an area of sand. My water is v hard, pH out of the tap around 8 and I don't intend to use RO water.
I already have harlequins and red cherry Shrimp to go in. I'd like a shoal or two of Corys (I like cory hastatus for the mid level and cory julii but definitely flexible on this). I think it would be great to have a another shoal of colourful small fish in addition possibly cardinals, though having seen Mark Evans' journal (sorry - not sure how to link on the iPad) I like the look of the penguin tetras. Any other recommendations much appreciated as most likely I will be restricted to what the LFS has in stock!
In addition to these i'd really like a few showpiece fish, possibly larger ones. Angels would be great but from I understand they're mostly incompatible with every other option unless I get lucky!! I like the look of apistos or kribs, but not sure what other options might look great and fit in.
I'd really appreciate any advice you guys might have.
Cheers,
Nick
