Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm just getting started with fish. You can see my initial post on the intro forum... I plan to have 2 betta tanks, 10 gallons each and one Dwarf Gourami tank of 30 gallons. I've been doing lots of reading, researching online, talking to the LFS and here's where I am:
Purchased a 30 gallon high bowfront tank from Craig's List w/stand
I'm adding:
Quad light 96 watts T5
Aquaclear 70 gallon filter (with peat)
Sand substrate with Eco-Complete for planted aquarium
Assorted resin and driftwood ornamentation plus some rock
I'm thinking 5 Dwarf Gouramis, 2 male, 3 female. What would do well with them in a tall tank? What scavengers would do well in their setting (temp, pH, etc.) Would shrimp survive? What smaller, perhaps schooling fish could I use or do they all need a long tank? How do you use peat in a filter? Do you not use charcoal then?
