Greetings!
Wow, I must say that this site is quite impressive!
Anyway...
I'm setting up a 55 Gal Amazon Biotope community tank
What I'm looking for is suggestions for Apistos or Rams specific to Amazon River(basin).
Tank is 55 Gal
4 x 55W(only t running currently as other 2 are actinic & I haven't replaced the CF's yet.)
Flourite Substrate
Driftwood,
Assorted live plants(Vals, Anubias, Swords, & Wysteria)
Current occupants are:
3 Blackskirt Tetras
6 Bloodfin Tetras,
2 Julii Cories(one died)
2 Common Pleccos(soon to be removed-getting too destructive to plants)
other Misc tetras( Serpae, & glowlite)
Future Occupants:
Blue or Green Tetras
Penguin Tetras
Pencilfish
HatchetFish
More Julii Cories.
Current Parameters:
Temp: ~79
pH: 7.4
Ammonia: 0
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: ~10
Ferts(Flourish Excell) used but no co2 yet.
Besides "Amazon Specific" Apistos & rams, what would be the ideal Params for the inhabitants once it's all setup?
Thanks!
