Tank looks good! Maybe fill it up to the top and it would be perfect! What fish do you have in there? I see a juli Cory and a dwarf gourami... Anything else?

 

[bgmann12]

I did a top off right after I took this and have added a black background. At the time I have a dwarf gourami and 2 julii cory catfish but plan to add 5 rummy nose tetras and maybe a third cory.

Thanks!!!

corys like 4 or more so add two!

 

[bgmann12]

But I don't want to overstock

you will not be overstocked if you have this stock and 4 corys instead. It's up to you though.

Your tank looks great!!! Nicely decorated and compliments the wood tones around it. Well done!!!

You'll love the false "julii"! They are very active fun fish! But watch your openings b/c I'm not sure if they are jumpers. I had 2 and one jumped out of the short open top holding tank. You do need 4. I'm in the same boat, but the false julii was a real good pick. Energetic little creatures!

To plan your tank capacity there is a calculator here:

Looking good it's the early stages of a fully planted tank.

I decided to shut this tank down because I am way more interested in my saltwater tank and need to be able to keep up with that.
