Advise / suggestion on fish to be added to my new tank

[Chee]

Hi Bros,

Will be getting a new tank
- 3.5 x 2 x 2 IOU with sump
- 2 months more to transfer (tank cycling time)
current fishes that will be transfered

5 x 2.5 inches RHT Eartheater
6 assorted pleco (2 - 5 inches)

Tank setup will be bare tank with branchy DWs.

1)
Will i still be able to add in more fishes?

2)
feel like adding Discus, however i will only change water twice a week.

3)
no predatory fish for me

Comments welcome!

yeap,you can add in few more fishes but not those that will grow very big

2)

not advisable if you only change your water twice a week,discus need to wc small amount everyday as they are very sensitive to change in water perimeter and easily get sick if water is not manage properly

Bro,for what i observe from my EE,they loves sand alot.so would be better if you can provide them with sand.

Bro since u have some driftwoods, why not dedicate the tank to plecos only? Im sure it will look as cool

Hi bro pleco are good but top and mid tier is empty thats y

1) yes u can add more fishes. just make sure ur IOS is packed with medias to handle the bioload. choice of fishes would depend on what u like. since u alry have plecos and EE, maybe just get something from the same species?
2) it is possible to keep in ur setup but do not expect them to have exponential growth nor will they pair and breed.
