Husband says "no more fish"..

CAEs are generally bad news.

Cories, BNPs, Otos... all good.
 
Add more fish, your tank is plenty big and as for babies they will be eaten as fast as there born..
 
I'm also of the opinion that you've got PLENTY of room to work with... you could easily add a few large peaceful fish, or several schools of smaller fish. Rummynose tetras look great in large schools, and if you're willing to do the work necessary, adding 5-6 discus would be a lovely addition to your tank IMO. (this would certainly impact your water change schedule... but to me, they're well worth the effort. I love my discus)
 
Sorry but your husband need to realize defeat. You have all kinds of room for more fish. There is nothing more depressing then a full tank set up with hardly any fish in it.

you have a ton more room because not only is it planted but the tank is massive. throw in some "center piece" fish for a fuller look.
 
OK this is the husband, I came home this morning from work, and found a stranger in the tank???? I know i lost the vote and i can live with that, but the only reason I have a freshwater tank to begin with was a scheduling change at work, I much prefer the salt tank but no longer had the time to keep up with it, and have become very fond of the oddity's of the sea, but as some of you may know every thing will eat every thing else and even in a 210 you are limited to the fish you can keep compared to freshwater, so when I feed the fish add the kayos ensues the tank is just to busy for my taste. I know we have room for more, and as the looser of this fight i think i will go the battle for more of the school instead of different fish.
 
This is the wife again and I am soooo busted; The stranger that my husband is talking about is a new corie...actually two new cories. (There is also a rainbow shark that my husband hasn't seen yet) What can I say, I couldn't resist them in their poor little tanks at the pet store. They wanted to come home with me, they were begging, I couldn't say no!

I've decided to throw my husband a bone here, since he's being such a gracious loser, we'll concentrate on building up the schools of fish we already have before I buy anything else for the tank. (I bought the cories and shark last night while he was at work... I'm a woman with a credit card and I had no supervision, what do you expect? Sorry honey, I'll try to be good. :grinyes: )

Oh, almost forgot! Got some plants I ordered yesterday. AWESOME!!!!!! We should have a nice green carpet of grass covering the tank in no time. (will give all those babies a nice place to hide....shhhh, don't tell the husband.)
