Hopefully, if my tank cycles correctly and ends soon I'm looking to add my first new fish since tank inception.
Background: 16 gal tank cycled with 4 leopard danios. Never been seeded. Bio-wheel filtration. Cycle was grueling...7 weeks into it now and only now do I see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
I'd like to add the following fish/ivertabrates to my tank, and I realize I can't add them all the at the same time allowing for bio load adjustments:
1) 1- Neon dwarf Gourami
2) 1- Ghost Shrimp
3) 3/4 - Lamp Eye Tetra's
My question is, in which order would you add the above? My fear is that 3 or 4 Lamp Eyes may throw the bio load of a newly and delicately cycled tank into chaos until it re-adjusted, OR that 1 Neon Dwarf Gourami may be to delicate and the danio's may harrass him. Finally I just need to do more research on how to care for the Shrimp.
Suggestions?
