Stocking my 55 planted

[geoffgarcia2]

I have a higher ph, between 7.5-8.3

I'm not quite sure what fish like/dont like this, I assume anything can be acclimated though..

I was thinking:

(cleanup crew)
5 ottos
5 SAE's
3-5 khuli loaches
3-5 cory's (royals?)
15 shrimp (combo of amano/ghost/yellow leg)
tons of Malaysian trumpet snails

10-15 schooling fish (whiteclouds, tetras, neons, etc...)
3-6 character fish (rams, discus, rainbows)

How over crowded does this sound?
Obviously they won't all go in at one time...

Well, lets see, I think you'd be better off picking either the otos or the SAE's.. I'd go with otos. Got for 4-5 otos, 3 kuhlis, 3 corys, 10 black neons, and 6 of rainbow fish. For rainbows, I suggest either these http://groups.msn.com/riotfishdude/...ge=18376&LastModified=4675378310855550695 or these http://groups.msn.com/riotfishdude/...ge=17774&LastModified=4675378091828364495

If you don't like those, what about some shell dwellers? Or a couple big gouramis? I'm all out for rams to, working on getting 2 pair as we speak... Just thought I'd throw it out there.. HTH
