Community/schooling/peaceful tank (unheated)

[jaws7777]

Being a one trick (cichlid) pony, my choice for an unheated, small, peaceful community would be a geographically correct Uruguayan tank with a quartet of Gymnogeophagus (1 male 3 females), a shoal of Buenos Aires Tetras, and some Uruguayan corys (such as erhardti)
Gymno quilero

or Gymno sp Paso Pache

Corydorus erhardti

This type community has been one of my favorite tanks.

Thx man. A cichlid tank has crossed my mind. Almost purchased red ciebals a few times

Have you considered White Cloud Mountain Minnows

Have a whole ton of them it would look amazing

A few Ceibals with a shoal of Buenos Aires would be a nice unheated tank look, especially Ceibals in spawning dress.
Normal coloration.

I usually put mine in a the pond, outdoor tank, or horse trough in summer, so when I brought them in in fall, it was getting new candy, and they usually filled the pond with fry.

I kept a red ceibal years ago and it was a cool little fish. I like Duanes' suggestions, of those or gymnogeophagus. I think with some tetras it would be a great display in a 75.

You have to feed them,crushed flakes daily works. Or u can get any of the foods formulated for corals and giant clams.

I'm liking the Ceibals. With either tetras or danios and some corys.

duanes are they omnivores ? If it fits in their mouths it's gone ?
