This weekened I will be picking up a 55 Gallon Aquarium with Stand and Emperor 400 Filter. I am pretty stoked about this, because I already have my 125 Gallon with my larger/predator cichlids, and I want to create a biotope of smaller peaceful cichlids.
Here are my ideas for what I am looking at:
Inhabitant:
3-4 Angelfish (Will wait till 2 pair off and then I will move the others)
3-4 Rams (Not sure which type I want yet)
3-4 Oto Catfish
10-12 Neon Tetra (Want a cool schooling fish to accent the tank and angels)
Plants and Decor:
Amazon Swords
Water Sprite and Wisteria
Pygmy Chain Swords
Java Moss
Scattered Driftwood or Single Centerpiece driftwood
Maybe some Anubias (But I want to keep this aquarium to a specific Biotope)
Fertilization:
Seachem Flourish Comprehensize
Filteration:
Modified Marineland Emperor 400 (Modified just as the one is in the library)
Background:
Painted Flat Black
Substrate:
Not sure where I want to go with this yet...ANY IDEAS? Currently using pool filter sand for my 125 Gallon, wasn't sure if there is something better out there.
Lighting:
Blue and White LEDs with a Dimmer!
This is where I am at right now. So what do you all think? Any Ideas or maybe some direction of where I should go with it?
