do you guys have any ideas on what speicies to get....
and must be able to get it in nsw australia .... =]

10 juvie frontosa 2.5" max and 3 silver dollars

What's the pH of the tank?
You do realize that Panaques require driftwood in the tank & that driftwood lowers pH. If you're buffering the tank for the frontosa it'll be kinda counter-productive to add driftwood & the pH can be detrimental for the Panaques. Considering the price they go for in Australia is it worth the trouble?

ph is about 8-8.5
you are probibley right lorneck
but in saying that i could drop my front tank to about 7.5 they wont mind but i will do it over a few days or i could just not worry about it.... i thank you guys for the advice
