I'm setting up a new 127"x20"x18" (~190G) show tank. It will be heavily planted with automated dosing of co2 and fertilizer. There are large numbers of bogwood and natural caves with many hiding places.
The main fish will be my home bred A.baenchi. I have about 20 adults and 50 fry in some of my other tanks. The plan is to complement them with some catfish and tetras and probably also some bolivian rams. The plan has been the following:
20-30 A.baenchi.
10 bolivian rams
40 green neons
40 ember tetras
20 corys (C.habrosus or C.trilineatus)
10 pitbull plecos
amano shrimp
Right now all I have in the tank is about 100 cherry shrimp breeding like crazy.
What do you think, is it going to work? The tank is not for breeding, I have other tanks for that.

I will get some more plants soon.
