What to put in new 30

Hello all!!!  At this time I have three tanks which are a 65g community with firemouths, clown loaches, SAE, red tailed shark, a krib and a pleco, also have a 10g which has A. Inca 50 and finally a 30g breeder which has 6 brevis.  After work today I am going to be getting a second 30g breeder from the great and wise oenology.

My dilemma now is what to house in this tank.  I have a couple of option I am considering:

Move the A.Inca from the 10 to this one and then use the 10 for a smaller fish like the lyretail checkerboard cichild.

Use the new 30 for some botia with a nice sandy bottom like striata or something that remains smaller.  I have a single marble loach in my 65 so maybe got a few more from Matt at SP and let them romp around and was thinking of a few Bolivian rams which I have never done.

Any thoughts?

How about a tanganyikan, or a paludarium?   

The rams would be fine, so would some smaller loaches.  It's all up to you.  The 10 gallon would be really inexpensive to turn into a nice planted aquarium, if it isn't already.  The 30 would be tougher, but still do-able.

Did you say you had 50 A. Incas?  I've never heard of this fish, but if so, then they probably need the extra space.  Good luck.

Other way around lol Apisto Inca 50 is what they are called.  5 of them in the 10 gallon.  This 30 does not have much height, but has a nice footpint.
