Would a pair of Pelvicachromis t. Lobes benefit from peat in the filter? If so, I have half a bale of Canadian sphagnum peat that I use for gardening, will this be safe to use in an aquarium?
I use RO water and Seachem's Acid Buffer, is there another water conditioner that I should use or will the peat take care of this?
What about dither fish? Will Congo tetras make good dither fish for this pair in a planted 20 long tank? Or is there another fish that would make a much better ditherer?
Who would be a good resident algae eater? I was thinking large algae shrimp and some otto cats, but I read an article at the Krib about a pair of westies that killed these two species.
Do I need a scavenger to eat the leftover food? I know to stay away from Cory cats, especially if I want to breed the westies, but what about day hiding Kuli loaches? Has anyone had better success with another scavenger with their westies?
