Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi all!
I have just bought a new tank, never having had one before. It is a Juwel Rekord 96. It is 81x30x46 cm and holds 96 litres. Following advice i have read here, i went for the largest tank i could practically fit in the space i have available.
However, having read dozens of websites and books etc. over the last few weeks i am still a bit confused.
Based on the surface area calculation, i reckon i can fit 37 inches of fish, so am aiming for about 34 inches (over a few weeks), does this sound OK.
I would like some Angelfish and a Bristlenose catfish. I also like spotted cory catfish, but have read so much conflicting info on what is best in terms of how many of each and wether they would work well together.
Any advice as to numbers of fish and what would go well with angelfish, as well as are the catfish OK? would be much appreciated.
I understand that what i want, and what i can have are probably two different things, as my principle concern is the welfare of the fish, after all, they don't have much say in me being their "dad" so i owe it to them to get it right!
thank you for your time
