I might get some killifish or panchax in there as well.

Stock List plan:

2x Apistogramma Agassizii 'Tefe Redback'
4x Apistogramma Nijsenni
10x emerald eye rasborsas
5x otocinclus
And Maybe 3x Golden Panchax or Killifish but it might look busy enough already so I'll see how it looks.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Not sure it has been asked but what kind of soil you got in the middle?

Great looking tank! Do you not want any rocks on the dark substrate?

Getting more and more keen to see this tank up and running red! You going to be running co2?

 

Where you looking at grabbing the Java fern from? I'm after something else that can survive with big americans to add to my tank, I'm pretty rookie with plants but I think Java fern is one of the ones that can take it and grows on rock, correct me if I'm wrong haha

Haven't seen java fern available in decent quantity at any of the shops I've been to...

Thanks Michael and Jarrod. I appreciate the support, can't wait to get it up and running!

Aquotix have a few different kinds of Java fern, plus I was given a heap of windelov java fern for free from Seaview Aquariums (thanks guys)

Good idea Michael! Would look awesome.

Yeah if you want to maintain red stems go co2 and good lighting. That with the aquarium soil and you will get amazing growth

Yeah thanks for the tips guys, Rovik at Aquotix recommended me to dose iron as well to keep the intense red on the rotala.

Thanks Angelo :)
