So, I really want to get started on the tank, but of course, I can't do anything yet cuz all I have is the tank...
So I figured, I'd start seriously thinking about stocking options. I have a vague idea of what I'd like...
-Peppered Cories (I already have 4)
-Otos (I'm not sure about those yet)
-Some kind of ram (Pets Inc. has GBRs and Gold Rams)
-Rubberlip Pleco (1 or 2? Idk yet. I've been reading other posts and thought they might go well with the otos...)
-Some sort of schooling fish, preferably at least 7-8 fish (Something was already recommended, but I forgot what it was...I think maybe some rasboras would go well...?)
A question about rams: someone said they need to "pair off." What does that mean? I need to buy more than what I want and then see which ones go along well and return the rest? I'm confused.
And more suggestions on the school of fish would be great.
I'm not sure where I am with the number of inches now, but I'd like the max to be within the 1 inch of fish per gallon if possible.
And if anyone has specific first hand experience or info about any of these fish, that'd be great. Except the cories, I've got those under control. Thanks for any suggestions!!
