    Hi all,

    I'm starting a planted 3ft tank and I'm wanting to put in the following:

    Pygmy Cory's
    Dwarf Pepper Cory's
    Pencil Fish
    Peacock Goby's
    Rummy Nose Tetras
    12 x Blue Rams (till they they pair up and will then be moved to their own breeding tanks)
    1 x Golden Ram
    Firefly Loaches
    Endler Guppies

    I was contemplating putting in my Angel Plecos, but @ivan warned me against doing this. I have a Bulldog Pleco, would this guy be ok in a planted tank?

    Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Hallo!

    How are your apistos doing?

    My cory's uprooted all my HC - learned the expensive way that the two don't go together. Pleco's will suck on certain plants and kill them. You'll have to find a variety he/she doesn't like!

    All the best on the planted tank, looking forward to seeing the photos!
