I like both ideas.
Keep them coming.


Here's the scape I was thinking of going with.
Pool filter sand, manzinita wood covered in java moss, and a few random small mexican river pebbles.

I want something unusual to stock it with, any oddball ideas?

i like this idea to, however, a heavy planted tank is out, at best ill do micro vals, java moss, and a few crypts, but nothing else, and if i do this i will need eco complete substrate.
i had great results last time i used that substrate, and havent had those kinds of results using anything else, so now it looks like a moderatly medium light low tech planted tank is the works for this setup.


i may also be getting a 29g biocube, any ideas on some interesting little sa/ca cichlids to add to a 29g biocube?

it will be the same kind of setup, lmk ideas on this one.

with the 14g i will definatly be doing checkerboards when i can find them, aswell as 12 red tetras, 8 amano shrimp, 12 pygmy cories, and a few zebra otos.

for the 29g im thinking a farlowella catfish, 6 zebra otos, 15 amano shrimp, 8 thread finned rainbows, and 12 cardinal tetras.
i just need a pair of small interesting not often seen cichlids.

let me hear some ideas for the cichlids for the 29g biocube.

The 14g seems like it'll be overstocked to me. Just sayin...
