Hey guys,
I'm back into the freshwater game after a decade break. I'm hoping you all will be open to sharing some wisdom!
I recently set up and am cycling an 18 gallon tank (only holds 13g of water... Check my profile for details). However, I used a crushed coral substrate and the pH is now fairly high (7.4-7.6, will know better after the cycle).
I'd like to set up a visually stunning community of small fishes, and I know you guys are full of great advice. This is what I was thinking, eventually:
2 endler's livebearers
2 painted platys
6 pseudomugil rainbows
Some kind of small hard water algae eater?
Will these fish get along?
Is this about the right number and size of fish for a 13gallon with lots of plants and refuge?
I appreciate any other advice or comments!
