EndlersBoi Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hey guys! I’m doing an 8 gallon iwagumi type scape, and i wanted to do a low maintenance cold water type of setup. I have Monte Carlo finishing up its dry start right now and i plan on starting a red cherry shrimp colony first. After that i want to put in 2-3 otos, and 6-8 CPD’s. I just need a decent centerpiece fish and i’m having trouble finding some. The tank is rim less and lidless so preferably something that’s not so jumpy. thanks for any help guys! Here are some pics of my scape. I do plan on adding some more plants when it fills up. A small red melon sword i have in another tank, some crypts, and maybe some dwarf saggitaria i have too. thanks again guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 with the scaping, and future plants, in that sized tank ill bet it would be just about right for the couple otto's and half dozen cpd's without a "centerpiece" fish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Your CPD will be more active and visible without a centerpiece fish. Have you considered just a larger group? I love mine and they utilize the entire tank in both tanks I have them in. They are very colorful and fun. Maybe add a mystery snail as a centerpiece 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
