So when my sand finally arrives in the mail next week it's time to finally starting putting together my first tank. It's a 50g breeder and I just wanted to see what you all think of the collection of fish I'll most likely be putting in there. And no I'm not going to put them all in at once
I'll put the plants in for a bit, do all the cycling and start with just a couple danios. That said what I'm thinking of is...
5x Zebra Danio
3x Kuhli Loach
3x Red Velvet Swordtail
1 Red Tail Shark
1 Small Pleco, looking for something that'll stay under 5" or so.
And I'm hoping for maybe 2-3 ghost or cherry shrimp but I'm afraid I might be pushing the limits with the fish already. I'm familiar with the 1inch per gallon rule and I'm pretty close to that, just wondering what you all think.
It will also have a half dozen or so live plants, probably amazon swords or something broad leaf like that. And I'm goign to make sure to have plenty of caves and hiding spots. I already have a couple 6" deep caves built into my rock walls using PVC and I have a big chunk of slate I'm gonna bust up to build little caves all over the floor.
