a few questions regarding upgrading my tank...

[hyperionsnail]

So i’m planning on upgrading my 10gallon tank to a 30gallon i have soon!
my current stock is:
1 doubletail betta splended
5 neon tetras(adding 2-3 more with upgrade)
1 giant golden rabbit snail
2 Malaysian trumpet snails
1 pond snail

My first question is would it be safe to add kuhli loaches into the community awhile after i move them? and if so, how many could i safely add?

Secondly, would a sponge filter work for this tank? or any recommendations for HOB filters?

and finally, would a mixture of carbisea sunset gold and moonlight sand work fine for the tank? i know the sunset gold is slightly bigger but i was hoping it wouldn’t be such a big difference that it would majorly separate

If you were to add 5 Kuhli loaches, your tank would still be only about half capacity.

Something like a Lustar Hydro-Sponge 3 would probably work. I would recommend an Aquaclear 50 as a HOB. The combination of the 2 would give you excellent filtration.

No clue on that one.
