Hello,
Unfortunately I'm a total newbie, and not one of the smart ones who does a lot of research first. I kind of jumped in with only a little research.
I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank. It has 8 zebra danios, 6 platies, 6 tiger barbs, 1 algae eater, 1 plectus catfish and 2 crabs. Is this too much for the tank? And will all these be alright together or should I remove any? They seem to all being doing alright. Can I add any ghost shrimp or any other fish at a later date?
The ph level has stayed at 7.8. Other than adding driftwood or chemicals is there any other method of lowering the ph? The other levels are good according to the master test kit.
What should I add plant wise? I currently have 4 live plants randomly picked at Petco.
Thanks for any help.
