Hi,
Just joined yesterday, new to fishkeeping and have what seems to be a pretty controversial tank - Fluval Edge - 23L.
I'm runnng it as a Tropical Freshwater setup.
I bought it because i liked the look of it, and it seems to be a nice home for my 4 Glowlight Tetras, (Fatty, Nanny Plum, Ben & Holly).
Got off to a bit of a rocky start with Ammonia Levels as i stupidly presumed that the little bottle of bacteria that came with the tank would suitably establish the tank and i wouldn't need to cycle it. (That's what the bottle led me to believe!)
I now have the levels under control and there is a remarkable difference in the little fishes, chasing each other and the food everywhere! A lot happier
So i am now at the stage where i am considering adding 4 Neon Tetras to the tank.
I have read a lot of writing in relation to the tank i have and its suitable stocking levels, however i personally think that 4 Neons would be perfectly happy here... To say that opinions vary greatly about this tank is an understatement, although alot of what i have read about in the fish keeping world seems to generate a lot of contradicting advice and views.
I work in IT, so normally there is only one answer to a given problem.
I don't want to overstock the tank and make it a misery for the fishes i'll keep, therefore i am asking for any and all opinions.
My ideal stocking would be the following:
4 Glowlights
4 Neons
1 Male Fighting Fish (i think some call these Bettas)
Please let me know what you think and i look forward to all that AA brings!
