Once more unto the breach dear friends.

Once again I turn to you for advice, I’ve scrapped the bumblebee cat fish idea. Now I’m leaning towards a cichlid heavy tank. Apistogramma, keyhole, and angel. Now I have a few questions: 1) I’m reading conflicting information on BN plecos. So I was wondering if a large school of otocinclus and Corys would be a better fit. 2) I need a dither fish recommendation. I’m leaning towards Denison barbs, although again getting conflicting information as to whether or not they are fin nippers. Or some sort of rainbow. 3) as cichlids are the only species I’ve never kept outside of a single Oscar, what do you think an appropriate number for all livestock mentioned would be?

I appreciate each and every one of you.
