Been looking at fish for the bowfront and have to remind myself its only 46 gallons! I know I want to keep my female marble angel because of her looks and personality. I have a female 3 spot and red flame gourami that will go in there. A group of 7 monk tetra, active and peaceful but not the most colorful. Those are all for sure.
Here is my dilemma, the clean up crew. I have a male and female albino BN and my glass on the 65B is spotless so I assume they would do well in the 46. But then it will have live plants and I thought SAE would help keep them clean along with the black beard algae the pops up on the spiderwood but having a school of these seems too much for only 46 gallons, Ive heard of them being kept solo but not sure. I decided no Raphael cats since they hide all day, so not coming over from the 65B. I want active cats like a solo hoplo or a group of cory cats. Now the bottom of the tank is getting very full, and quickly!
Would appreciate thoughts from you guys an a active and effective clean up crew for this tank. Can a solo SAE work? 2 BN pleco worth it? Other fish that might work, in algae clean capacity?
