Hi, I am setting up a new 72 gallon tank and am interested in some stocking ideas from you.
I will have in the tank half a dozen small clown loaches, a couple bristlenose pleco's, a dozen Rummynose Tetra's and maybe 6 to 9 Cardinal Tetra's.
Now I am also thinking about 2 pearl Gourami's and some dwarf cichlids to round out the tank.
My first question - how many and what type of dwarf cichlids what you suggest as a good fit in this mix (I should add my first thoughts were some mix of 2 of the following - Cacutoides, Borelli, Trifasciata , Viejita II or Blue Rams )
My second question - I am not really interested in breeding any Apisto's, but like the color and behavior they could bring to the tank. If I went with say Cacutoides and Borelli's - could I put a 1 or 2 males of each in the tank? IE is there any harm in not having a male / female pair other than no spawning?
Or for instance would a single male Cacutoide say be too disruptive with a M/F pair of Borelli's?
Or would 2 males of the same species constantly harass one another?
Thanks
