Tyler LaZerte Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The first inhabitants are in! So excited to watch them grow! 6 Corydoras panda and 3 Otocinclus sp.

Now, the biggest issue is probably tank size / vs full-grown keyhole size. This could get us down a long NERM-hole discussion... but it’s something to consider. Alternatively, German Blue Rams would be spot-on perfect in a tank that size too. Here’s our young male ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler LaZerte Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 @Fish Folk I had never heard of those! I may have to look into them. GBR are definitely gorgeous, but the temps they require aren't ideal for this tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler LaZerte Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 @Fish Folk Haha! I'm thinking of getting a school of CPDs and calling it good on fish. Just some inverts after that 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
