hello! i'm currently in the process of fishless cycling my first aquarium. i am ~one week into the cycle and it's going fine so far (no nitrates yet, but i don't plan on adding fish until it's done(in 1-2 months), don't worry). here are the specs:
30g high (30x12x19")
Hagen Aquaclear 50
black moonsand and play sand (washed)
one heater (75°F)
ph: 7.0
plants: Hornwort, Brazilian Pennywort, Cardinal plants
what i plan on getting:
1 dwarf blue powder gourami
10 harlequin rasboras
6 bronze or panda cory cats
10 ghost shrimp
SO, i have two questions. the first is that i'd like to add another fish/school to this group, since i believe i have the room for it. what do you suggest? i'm open to anything, but i'd rather get fish that don't create a lot of waste or can get too aggressive. i also don't have a lid on my tank so anything that jumps i'd rather avoid.
second, which fish would you recommend i start out with once my tank is fully cycled? i was planning on putting in just 5 rasboras to start, then add the rest incrementally.
thank you for reading! i would love any advice you have to give!
