Hi! :-D
I just signed up a little while ago, and I already have some questions! I'm trying to start a south american biotope, but I don't know if the fish I want are going to get along well... I've done hours of research on them, and I think they'll work, but I'd like a second, third, forth, etc., opinion if possible! My pH is around 6-6.8, and my tank's temperature is around 78 degrees most of the time.
Recently I've had a problem with high nitrAtes, so I've been doing daily water changes to help clear that up. Most of my fish died because of it :shock: Since I have to restock now I've decided to go with a biotope! I'm going for Orinoco river area mostly. Anyways, my stocking plan so far:
I also have a few plant ideas, but I'm open to more! I'm like a moderately planted tank, my list so far:
Thanks in advance!

- 10 Glowlight Tetras (at least 10)
- 8-10 False Bandit Cories (Corydoras Melini)
- 2-4 German Blue Rams (Aggression might be a problem? And can they be kept with Cories? I've heard varying info about that!)
- 1-2 Albino Bristlenose Plecostomus (Found them for the first time ever in my favorite lfs!)
- Another school of tetras? I'm not sure, open to suggestions!
I also have a few plant ideas, but I'm open to more! I'm like a moderately planted tank, my list so far:
- Amazon Swords
- Green Cabomba
- Duckweed
- Christmas Moss
- Watersprite
Thanks in advance!
