Nandopsis salvini

sweet im off to the fish store to place my order :eek:
i think im gonna get a pair of blue acaras, and a pair of convicts, maybe a salvini
 
ok orders in, a pair of cons, and a pair of blue acaras, and a tilipia, i know i havent done much research on these, but they seem to work out ok. i will get the scientific name. now to decorate my tank :eek:
what plants should i get? something that grows in low light, hard to kill :).
what should i do for rocks? i like next to lake champlain, should i get some rocks out of there, and perhaps a freshwater clam or two?
right now, the tank has standard size gravel, should i get some other polished peices of shale that i can find in the lake to put in there with the gravel?
any other suggestions would be killer :) thanx guys
 
oh yeah, all fish are gonna be between 2 to 3 inches, and also im getting a pair of redbelly flag cichlids for my community tank
 
How can you tell if the clam is alive? You can't easily enough to make it worthwhile...you'll know once decomposition has set in to an amount, but until then, it's next to impossible. Plus, clam larvae are fish parasites.

You could probably get rocks from the lake, but sterilize 'em first!
 
so no clam from the lake then huh? i was just gonna get one freshwater clam they arent asexual are they? do they really need caves that they can swim through, or just some nice sized rocks?
