I have been keeping saltwater reef tanks for about 6 years now and decided I wanted to try my hand at a planted freshwater tank. So I will be setting up a 14 gal Bio-Cube. The tank will get here on Tuesday!
I went to the fish store today, something I probably shouldn't have done, and purchased things for a tank that I don't even have yet. Anyways I got one piece of drift wood and another piece of Mopani wood for the decorations in the tank. I also purchased Live Freshwater Substrate and a couple 5lbs. bags of natural gravel. I also got a thermometer...
So while looking at fish and trying to come up with what I want to keep in the tank I got this-
5-6 Cardinal Tetras
2 Blue Rams
2 Korthausae Killifish
1 Cory Cat
1 Clown Loach- to control snails
2 Red Wag Platys
2 Zebra Danios
Possibilities include-
Male Betta
Hatchet Fish
Guppies
So thats a place to start! I am not sure on what plants I want to keep yet, but am still looking!
Is it best to use DI water or should I go ahead and use tap water?
