    I posted about this earlier, but I did some more research and this is what I came up with:

    Plants:
    Dwarf Amazon Sword
    Brazilian Water Ivy
    Water Stargrass
    Mayaca vandelli
    Pygmy Chain Swordplant
    Red Amazon
    New Zealand grass plant
    Red copper leafed Alternanthera

    Fish:
    Tetras
    Corydoras
    Guppies
    Hatchet fish
    Pencil fish
    Angelfish
    German blue rams, dwarf rams
    Bristlenose pleco
    Silver dollars

    I really want the BN. Otherwise, it's still up for debate. Would sand or gravel be better? Which fish/plants would do best? Fert? Also, is there a specific type of filter I should use?
    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Amazon biotope

    You should have posted this in the aqua scape folder.

    Rather a 'South American Theme' than an Amazon Biotope.

    Not sure about the plants, but this is my take on the livestock list from past experiences.

    Silver dollars + planted tank = All you can eat salad bar.

    Bristle nose may take a nibble here and there.

    Add in the corys only after the plants settle in.

    Angels will eventually eat the tetras,guppy and pencil fish.
    Suckerfish no eat poo poo.
