So to the question. Planning a 325 liter tank (85.5 US gallon) tank. Loads of rocks, roots and live plants, with rounded small gravel areas and sandy areas. Dimensions of tank will be 130cm x 50cm x 50cm. (51 inch x 19.5 inch x 19.5 inch approx). I've been thinking about the stocking for this tank, and so far i've come up with :
18-20 cherry barbs
5-6 panda garra (garra flavatra)
and then
8-10 Botia Striata OR
10-15 Dwarf Chain Loach (yasuhikotakia sidthimunki)
How do you guys feel about either of those loaches in that tank? Too small a tank for the Striatas? Better with the dwarf loaches? Or more loaches? Different type of loach?
All tips appreciated!
