    Hi,

    10x sterbai cories
    2x Geo Surinamensis
    1xSeverum

    I need some top fish that are compatible with the above,tank is 400L.I'm not sure if i can add more Geo's,i have a spare tank in case they decide to start breeding but having more then one pair can be problematic.

    They are the fish i have planned so far for when i redo my tank.

    The larger silver hatches that grow over 10cm would be fine I think.
    Or a few butterfly fish would also work nicely.

    if you can find them, a school of giant danios would look fantastic, and not add too much to your already quite full tank.

    @oscar freakGuess i can get a group of 5 Geo's if i remove the Severum (maybe also get less corries?)

    @nicolaas ,quite keen on the Butterfly fish,i'm looking for fish with colour and patterns.

    @Nina_W I'll see if i can find some.

    I'm thinking either guppies,gourami's or both.

    the guppies would most likely fall prey to the geophagus.i dont think 10 cories is to much,i would lose the severum though and maybe just 3 geophagus(they get oscar big)

    How fast do they grow?,will 400L be enough?

    I won't be upgrading until the end of the year so i'm hoping to set up a peacefull tank with fish that won't fight or cause too many problems.

    i'v never kept geophagus(they my one day)fish,they are apparently peaceful and can be kept with most species but i think guppies would be just to much temptation to resist for them besides they would really be an oddity for that kind of set up.i have no idea how fast they grow either but thet would be fine in there for a while im sure.
