Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi all! I recently upgraded to a 90 gallon and completed it's cycle. Over the last few days I have continued daily water testing and slowly transferred everything from my original 29 gallon, and am ready to add new life to the tank. So far, the 90 houses:
3 x java moss balls
A fair amount of anacharis bunches
10ish x assassin snails
2 x feeder guppies (survivors/cyclers)
2 x German blue rams (mated pair)
1 x blue crawfish (female)
1 x white crawfish (male)
Roughly 30 ghost shrimp (feeders/ cyclers)
Aside from the mass of ghost shrimp (which also survived cycling along with the guppies), this was an established community (about a year), and I have never had any problems with aggression; however I do understand that there is a certain amount of risk adding new fish into the tank because of the craws. I am planning to keep the original tank heavily planted to supply more anacharis, as well as continue to act as a breeder tank for the snails (and soon ghosties), which keep the craws well fed and docile. Obviously I also want to plant this new tank more heavily as I go as well.
All that being said, I would really like to try and add new fish. I have been looking at killifish, but am hesitant because I have never had them before. As I said, I know there will always be SOME risk because of the craws, but I certainly don't want to absolutely doom anyone either! Any advice or suggestions are really appreciated! Thanks guys!
