Quick update: Tank has been doing pretty good so far. I have the three black mollies, ten neons, and maybe 2 or 3 baby mollies at least. The PH in my tank jumped from 6.0 to around 7.2 recently and has been holding there ever since. To protect from something like that again, I added half a cup of crushed coral to the filter.
Plants are mostly doing fine. I added a few root tabs under my swords and while the older leaves are still rotting away, new shoots seem to spring up every day. Hair algae is still a problem. I've been dosing excel to see if it does anything, but I'll just have to wait to christmas when I spring for a CO2 system.
I'll get a picture one of these days.
My question, I definately want a school of some kind of bottom dweller and was wondering if anyone could suggest a few fun species. And after that, I was hoping to get some ideas on what other types of fish I could add. I'm a big fan of mollies, so maybe a natural progression would be swordtails next, though it would be fun to branch out to something else.
