I have a gbr pair that I may introduce to this tank but im still unsure. My second thought was shrimp but that wouldnt work out well with excel/metricide.

So my stocking options are going to include some mix of the following.... amano shrimp, red cherry shrimp, neon tetras, gbr pair, nerites. What combination would you guys think would be a good mix?

I can agree I had a whole population taken out by one endler. Looks like these are my options...

A. Gbr pair, otos, nerites
B. Neons, amanos, otos, nerites
C. Amanos, Rcs, otos, nerites

Now just have to pick from these choices and how many I want. Such a hard decision

May or may not have luck with amanos and neons but its worth a try

Filter is a sunsun 106gph canister. Heater isnt needed until winter but ill probably get an inline hydor.

I guess it comes down to either shrimp only or neons now. Leaning more towards stocking neons.

Still deciding on what shrimp to order... emailing msjinkzd about what she has available. May go with yellow neos or red/navyblue rilis

Only thing I used was one of the extendable breakoff style carpet knives with a fresh long blade. Very flexible and easy to slice the silicone inside and out. Then I broke away each side of the lip, one at a time. The most tedious part is removing the leftover silicone with wd40 and a razor blade.
