Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Thank you to those who offered their advice and guidance... my 55 gal tank is completely cycled and I have already introduced fish - so far I have added:
-4x Boesemans Rainbow
-12x Neon Tetras
-6x Serpae Tetra
-1x Dwarf Gourami
The folks at the LFS (Fish Safari in VA Beach) flat out told me I would not get a guarantee because my water is 8.2 pH and didn't think any of them would survive, but I worked hard to acclimate them last night and they survived the night just fine - and today seem very active and happy.
I plan to get 4 Corys to have some bottom swimmers and after that, I'm not sure - I think I have a bit more bioload space available (I have an AQ70 and AQ50 filter running on this tank).
Thanks to all!
