This is my 29 gallon freshwater community tank. It's a Marineland tank, and I purchased in it in a kit which included LED lights which I intend to replace in the next month or two. It also included a Penguin 200 power filter and a 200w submersible heater. I installed an airstone and some decor, including gravel. There is a small java fern and a young moneywort plant.
Yesterday, which was a few days after the cycle completed, I added 3 albino cory catfish to the tank. I call them Bifur, Bofur and Bombur.
They're doing well. They play in the bubbles from the airstone a lot, which is adorable. I'm still testing the levels every day and they're looking good, always 0ppm ammonia and nitrites and never more than 5ppm nitrates. So far, so good.
This is going to be a community tank, but I'm not entirely sure what other fish I'm going to add. I'm considering adding another cory or two, and a mystery snail...but beyond that I have little idea. Maybe some cherry barbs, or scissortail rasboras? And I was thinking maybe silver hatchetfish to have some top swimmers. I'm far from certain yet. Although I'm so in love with my corys that I could happily just have a dozen of them!
