Hi everyone, this is my first post here - I've been inspired by my recent visit to The Green Machine and started again with my planted tank, I have replanted my 220L 65cm cube as a jungle tank. That now brings loads of questions the first of which are:
I plan to keep 6 Corydora sterbaii, some rams and two shoals of something?
Q) How many rams can I keep? I've read that they're best in pairs but would ideally like 5 or 6
Q) I would like to keep a shoal of Boraras maculatus. What other shoaling fish would compliment their nature/colours best?
Q) What would people reccomend as show fish here? I'd love a pair of discus but intend to keep shrimp and have heard of discus eating shrimp. Or would it look better if the shoals were the 'show'?
Q) How long do people leave the plants before adding fish?
Sorry about all the questions but I just can't make my mind up and would appreciate any opinions.
P.S. Hope you all loved The Green Machine today, sorry I couldn't be there I saw all the preparations yesterday. What a great place!
