So after having many cichlids tanks up to a 90 gallon with many mixed and succesful African/South American Cichlids. I finally decided I would like a peaceful planted tank. Before going crazy and buying the 125 I wanted .
I decided to start with a 40 gallon Aquavu tall. I have set the tank up with a nice large piece of bogwood, a 12" tall amazon sword, two 8" cork screw plants, two 8" java ferns, white sand substrate, and a few smooth 6-8" river rock boulders. I am running the standard Eclipse hood with 150 watt heater.
I have had the tank setup enough to read 0 across the board. So far I have added 11 Danio Pearls, Three 1-1/2" Balla Sharks, two golden Gouramis, and a Dwarf Red Gourami. I am looking to stock the tank more since it looks very bare and was thinking about adding 11-17 Cardinal tetras, Tiger Barbs, clown loaches, ect.
With all that being said what extra fish do many of you recommend and how many more can I add total ot all at once. Oh and just to shake things up after moving to the 125-150Gallon I plan on adding a Fresh water Motoro Stingray. I have always wanted stingrays and have talked to many keepers that have kept them with peaceful fish.
