I am in the middle of my fishless cycle and so working on getting my stock list sorted out. I am planning on the following:
10 x glowlight tetras
10 x cherry barbs
3 x pearl gourami (1m:2f)
10 smaller cories
2 x bristlenose pleco
So I kept hearing about kuhli loaches and thought I would look up a picture. I like the look of these, but know they like to be in groups. So which would you choose? cories or kuhli loaches and why? (I really like both types of fish). If loaches how many could I keep in the 55G?
I also read about BN plecos and their ability to escape (or swim up the filter) how likely is this to happen? the hood on my tank is pretty open, so I am just curious how likely they are to escape? If its a high probability I am open to leaving them out and instead adding a couple more cories (or loaches) if I have the room.
Thanks.
