Yep, balance is key. I'd start with half the recommended dose and adjust from there.

Otocinclus catfish are a solid choice. They're tiny, peaceful, and only eat algae, not plants. I've kept them with anubias and java fern for years, no issues. Just make sure you've got some biofilm or algae for them to graze on.

They're pretty big but less than 75 gallon, more like 90 gallon or so, considering the space they need to swim around and be comfortable.

What's the official size limit for a Bumblebee Cichlid, and what tank size would be best for it, considering I want to keep it with fluffnut and other compatible fish?
