I have cardinals, rummynose, harlequin rasboras, cpds, ember, glo lights, female bettas, pentazona barbs, cories, kuhli loaches, SAE, bristlenose plecos, young GBRS and young boesemani rainbows in my 125 gallon. I have a crap load of cherries as well as amanos in the tank. Though it is densely planted, the cherries do come out.
