I've recently aquired a trio of Nannacara anomala (Golden Dwarf Cichlid) and a trio of Apistogramma cacatoides (Cockatoo Cichlid) in the 1M 2F ratio. Both males are stunning, the Nannacara a stunning metalic blue and the Apisto a flaming orange/yellow.
I've returned to fishkeeping 6 months ago after 5 years, but used to use the inch rule, which I know is out, and is based on bioload now (but don't know anywhere enough about this yet).
So, I'm wondering if the following stocking capacity is anywhere close?
10 Marbled Hatchetfish
10 Golden Pencilfish
10 Black Neons
15 Neons
Tank's already planted with a wall of vallis hiding a log, 2 lotus lily's providing surface cover, and some java fern and anubias hiding a tree root and cave.
And slightly off topic, but do shrimps work with dwarves? I'm imagining not.
Had posted in the cichlid section, but dwarves don't seem to get any love there - too small I guess compared to JD's, GT's etc!
