Hey guys. I've just finished cycling my 40 gallon freshwater tank and I'm looking into adding some plants. My current stock is a pair of mickey mouse platys, a pair of balloon-belly mollies and one male guppy(female passed away). They are all under 1" in length. Here are my tank levels: (Ammonia tested using an API liquid test kit and all other levels tested with API test strips. All tests are new.)
Ammonia-0
GH- 160
KH- 100
PH- 7.5
NO2- 0
NO3-10
I'm wondering if my levels are good enough to add plants, and if its a good idea. I'm using an Aqueon 30 filter (for aquariums 30-45 gallons) and I am currently waiting for a submersible heater to come in. I'm using gravel for the floor of the aquarium(Can I plant with gravel?) and the only other things in the tank are a few small decorations. Any advice is really appreciated. I'm new at this and this site is great for honest answers and helpful advice. Thanks
