first question: stocking
all fish in this tank are going to get seriuously large so I am about at my stocking limits I may get a top feeder such as a needle nose gar or something but my flor and mid section are filled
second: From what I have read and seen with the Lepo's and shovelnose as long as the lepos keep growing and stay ahead of the shovelnose they should be safe especially with all that room in the tank. You cant really tell but behind that whole wall are caverns and caves.The pictus has taken residence in the back of the left side and the Lepo's hang out on the right as soon as I get a better camera I will be able to get more detailed shot's and can you believe it ....this whole set up background to fish cost me about $300.00 yes I said $300.00 It don't take much to achieve an awesome setup...just time and thought
