My L140 look nice on dark sandy stuff. But you know you're going to end up with other plecs :lol:
I'd replace the neons for another tetra. And less cichlids. And maybe not sterbais.
Whiptails are awesome. The red ones are pretty mint. Saw a 20cmish royal today also. He was cool.
Gourami?
Found around 50+ strange creatures in one of my plec tanks.
Apparently these guys are slow growers? Mine are around a month old. Some are bigger than others. Some are also very pale. They've been getting fed wardly tablets, little bit of novo pleco (its for the adults but i've seen them trying to eat them) and a bit of vege.
Just bagged them up to move to a proper grow out tank.
Welcome
Your "local guppies", if they are what I think they are, are a very aggressive species and may have killed your tetra.
Up your water changes also. I personally believe a tank with that sort of stocking levels should get 25% a week
