hello everyone,
Getting ready for the 'centerpiece' of the tank, just trying to decide how many and exactly which ones. I'm thinking either apistos or blue rams. I'd love some advice on how many/sex ratio/etc. I've heard from some places that most species like either a pair or to be a little crowded. I was thinking maybe 2 or 5? If it ends up only being 2, then I might add some pencilfish later. I kind of like the idea of crowding, any experience with this? The other snag, which I'm sure the opinions will fly about, is that I'd like to add some large amano shrimp(also introducing my only foreign concession), because the detritus and non-pristine moss is making me crazy.
The specs:
38g
ph 6.5
temp 76-78
1 farlowella cat
3 otocinclus
3 serpae tetras
3 pictus cats
christmas moss
cabomba
bacopa
several swords
chain swords
lots of wood
any and all advice is appreciated,
thanks
