So my cycle is going well, I have plants coming, I'm searching for the right rock structures and driftwood, and now I have begun looking at fish to stock. I have a few ideas, but I'm going to need some input as well from the vast knowledge base here.
2-3 [BN?] Plecos
6-10 Kuhli Loaches
20 Schooling Fish
(looking at 2 different schools of 10, currently thinking 10 Diamond Tetras and 10 Scissortail Rasboras)
Some Killifish ??
2-3 Centerpiece Fish
(Gourmani, Dawarf Gourmani, Angles)???
Snails?
Plants I have coming
(some will go in my 20 long)
8 Ludwigia sp Rubin
50 Corkscrew Vals
4+ Jungle Vals
4+ Bronze Crypts
1-2 Green Crypts
2+ Stems of Bacopa monnieri - Water Hyssop
2+ Stems of Ludwigia suffruticosa - Creeping Ludwigia
2 Golf Ball size portions of Christmas moss
1 Indian Red Sword
My water temp is currently 80F+ to aid cycle bacteria growth, I'll lower it to mid 70s most likely. My pH is about 8.2 right now, but I don't have anything in the tank other than the Black Diamond substrate. I will double check my tap pH, but I believe its the same. Some plants and driftwood should help, and I could add almond leaves as well. I have one Marineland Magnum 350 running now, and I'm getting a couple more parts to set up a 2nd Marineland Magnum 350. I'm running a Fluval 200w and 150w heater. I have a Finnex Stingray 48" that will cap it off.
