so after running the tank with that "stability" all the parameters are good, we had 13 guppies, and lost two of them. not sure where my snail is, havent seen him since the day we got the java fern.
but due to the fact that my truck got broken into on wednsday, the project is being put on hold. were going to wait til the end of the month and see how everything is going and we come back from our camping trip, hopefully we'll be able to get the rest of the fish started in it.
We've narrowed our possible fish list to:
bumble bee gobies
mollies
1 green spotted puffer
killi fish
maybe a knight goby, but we heard they are territorial, not to sure about that one
I'm currently looking for some more snails, not sure what kind to go with
and we're still trying to figure out if there are any brackish algae eaters.
