65 Gallon Tank Good stocking for heavily planted 65g?

[Fishboy1888]

I have a fast-moving water, heavily planted, 6-7 pH high oxygenation 65g tank. I have in it 7 Burmese border loaches and will definitely add 6 kuhli loaches, thinking about 10 or so Rummynose. Any suggestions for a final fish to add? I’d like the last one to be fairly large (5 inches) as even though my loaches will grow to be big they’re currently very small and will take 2 years to be full grown

You could keep a group of Pearl Gouramis
Or a group of key hole cichlids

This sounds like a nice tank. With the 7 Burmese loaches and 6 kuhli loaches, I don't think there's a whole ton of room left. Perhaps a small school of small choprae danios or something like that could work.

Keyhole cichlids can adapt to stronger currents. I've had them in fast flow before. Pearl gouramis, on the other hand, don't do well with fast flow.

I was actually planning on getting pearl gourami but the current, along with aggression made me reconsider

I have 5 keyhole in a heavily planted tank with a nice flow and they do well

Would I be able to keep any schooling fish with them?

I currently keep 3 keyhole cichlids with cardinal tetras. The keyholes can be a little feisty during feeding time, but the cardinals are not bothered.

I have 8 zebra danios and a handful full of platys , this from a couple of months ago they are much bigger now

ok I put it all into AqAdvisor and this is my current stocking plan:
- 7 angelicus loaches
- 6 kuhli loaches
- 1 keyhole cichlid
- 8 Rummynose tetra

I would keep the keyhole in at least a pair and also I have found aqua adviser not exactly the most accurate but it does seem to give you a good idea

 

[Graydog913]

Keyholes are best kept in a group from my experience, 2 would be the least that I would keep together.

I’m worried about aggression if they start breeding, would there be an issue if I got two females?

As long as you don’t over stock it will be fine
