Hi there! First of all, I'm newer to the fish community, I've been keeping fish for about three or four months, and I've recently had a friend just hand over a 30 gallon tank, completely finished with gravel, decor, a light, stand, bubble stones, and water care stuff, and a filter and extra filter cartridges, all for free! I'm so lucky.
Skip to today, and the tank is completely cleaned, though it's empty and sitting plainly in my living room. I need some fish! I've been going through the forums and found this setup for another 30 gallon:
-6 Neon tetras
-6 Zebra danios
-1 koi swordtail
-1 betta (It'll probably be a female)
-3 gold dust mollies
-6 Cory cats
I love this idea, but is it too much for a 30 gallon? Also, I wanted to know if I could put some ghost shrimp in, or if I should replace a few fish with those shrimp. Do they get along with the fish listed? What temperature should I keep the tank at? Also, should bubble stones be kept in there?
I'm always at home, so I keep very good care of my fish, water changes are normal and I check the water often, So I can very easily take care of a large quantity of fish. Any constructive criticism is welcome!
