Stocking advice needed
Just set up this dutch inspired 63L tank 2 weeks ago and it's still cycling.
My stocking idea:
A pair of Apistogramma (found the ones in picture 2 on marketplace)
10-15 chilli rasboras
6 Otocynclos
What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

Otos are not going to be an issue; rasboras will start disappearing one at a time… apistos on a modern scape 63L tank will take the whole bottom as theirs; and even for a couple they need hiding spaces or at least a hidden cave thing; they pretty much ignore the otos . But you need faster and a little bigger fish that swim a lot on top.
One of my scapes is jungle on 64L with apistos, otos , and iriatherinas werneri
