By the grace of God, my foray into this great hobby has been great. I have had my 30 gallon freshwater tank for7 months now with only 5 casualties, and none for the last 4 months.
Now everything is going great! I just wanted to run my tank-stats by the experts here just to make sure my stocking-level is correct and so is my maintenance. Here is the info on my tank. Feel free to suggest improvements:
Size: 30 Gallon Tall
Filter: Whisper power filter for 30 gallon tanks
Temp: 78 deg F
Feeding: Once a day- flakes and sinking pellets
Plants: No live plants
Light: Flourescent light for 8 hours daily
Water change: 20% every 2 weeks with gravel vacuum
Filter cartridge change: Once a month. Retain the frame from old filter.
Ph: 6.8 to 7.0
No additives or limestone used
Fish Stocking:
6 neon tetras
6 spotted dwarf cory cats
1 dwarf sunflame gourami
3 Platys (1 male, 2 female)
3 fancy guppies (1male, 2 female)
1 Otto
1 Apple snail
Feel free to comment.
Thanks.
