Yes, they are on the list.
The wood will be highlighted rather than covered with weeds.
I plan on 5 of them in there.

Here's the fish list:

200 Cardinals
30 Marbled Hatchets
30 Nannostomus espei
5 Apisto ags (red)
5 Apisto borelli (Blue)
5 Apisto Veijta (yellow)

cleaner crew:
150 Amano shrimp
Cherry shrimp

Pleco list:
5 Sturisoma
5 Gold Nugget
4 Mango
5 Gold spot
4 Scribbled

All of these species interact well together.
They also school in their prospective species groups in well defined packs.

Plants:
HC mostly(around entire tank,).
Some moss, most likely Fissedens or Xmas(to hide out/intakes)
Erio setaceum (on right side near back of wood branches)
Rotala wallichii (rear off center)
Crypt blassii "rosanervig"(dark shaded corner on far left)
Tonia(either manuns or belem) (front/middle ground, cut low)
P. dowoni (like tonia)
E stellata*(maybe) (rear middle, with Rwallichii)
L aquatica*(maybe) (rear middle left)
Crypt lucens or gecko*(maybe) (fill in on back side)

That's pretty much it.
I may add some Bolbitus or narrow Java, but only to fill where nothing else might grow.

Plecos have more holes than you can tell here, I drilled out some of the cores of the branches so they can hide. There are a number of hollows.

Regards,
Tom Barr
