Hi guys
So worked out my (227L) aquascape design for my South American Clearwater stream tank however I’m debating fish species. Ideally want to go for a naturalistic approach with fish from this environment. I’m going for small high end plecos (max size 4 inch) so the other species must be based around these. Ideally want 3/5 different species of pleco. Below is my stock ideas, changes or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Aiming for a group of feature fish no larger than 10cm (currently the checkerboards) but must stand out compared to the others, and then small dither fish from the South American clear water stream environment. Have two return pumps of 1000lph and a wave maker which will be hidden in the back to provide some movement and flow.
3/5 plecos (leopard frog, zebra, queen arabesque etc)
1 whiptail catfish
6 panda corys
10 x Ray tetra
6 marbled hatchets
6 checkerboard cichlids (filamentosus)
Others??? Or changes??
Any help would be great fully appreciated
Cheers Chris
