Hello everyone! I have always dreamed of having an aquarium.I spent numerous hours reading different sources especially on this forum and finally decided to take a plunge and get one. So my new tank is 38 gallon (36*12*20) Aqueon advanced kit from Petco. I've been going back and forward with the stocking and this is what i came up with:
5 Albino Cory (or other small cory)
3 Otocinclus (or maybe just one)
6 Harlequin Rasbora
1 Dwarf Gourami (centerpiece fish)
also want to get some Guppy(3), Platy(3)
and maybe a school of 6-8 neon Tetra.
According to Aquarium Advisor this setup stocking level is 98%.
Yours suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Also I want to do plants. Which ones would be suitable for my fish choices? Cant decide on a substrate to please corys as well as plants (pool filter sand, flourite, eco complete?). My aquarium came with Aqueon filter which is not enough. Is it better to get one more small filter and use 2 at the same time or just get one big filter?
Thanks in advance.
