Hi! I'm getting close to having a cycled tank (fishless cycle, ammonia down to 0.5 today, nitrites down to 1.0, and nitrates at 40ppm...getting close!!) and I'd like to get an opinion on my goal stock list for this tank. I'm not planning on getting everything all at once, I think I'll start with the Gertrude's as they are usually in stock at my LFS. AqAdvisor seems to think things look ok, but I'd like an opinion from some live people. ; )
29g lightly planted low light/low tech tank
6x Gertrude's Rainbowfish
9x Dainty Cory (corydoras habrosus)
4x Peacock Gudgeons (I love these guys! I hope they come in stock somewhere soon!)
1 -2 Dwarf Honey Gourami
some red cherry shrimp
possibly a few snails, not entirely sure what type
I'm trying very hard not to overstock, as this is my first tank and I don't want to overload myself with maintenance.
Do you think it'll be ok to start with the Gertrude's after my cycle is complete? How long do I wait before adding other fish to the mix?
