Good day,
little background info on me; When I was a kid, my father always had guppies and jewelfish for as long as I can remember and he stopped when I was about 15 or so. Since then, I always loved to go see fish at the local petshops and such. Recently, My kids wanted a pet, so We decided to get them each a Betta (in 2 different betta tanks). Well, what had to happen, happened. My wife and I got hooked. My wife bought a 5 gallon tank and decided on tetras (got 3 neons this past weekend, and will get 3 more tetras next weekend.
I got myself a 26 gallon bow and really like mollies, swordtail and such. So far, my idea for stocking is:
5 Danio (hopefully celestial pearl if i can find them anywhere)
3 Dalmatian mollies (1m 2F)
3 Swordtail (1m 2F) (I can only find red ones, never seen others around where i live)
3 srimps (color depends on what danio and sword i can get, but not beige or brown because of my sand color rocks)
AQAdvisor tells me it would be 112% stocked, but room with filtration unit
Any idea what i could change to make it similar. I really have my heart set on dalmatian mollies, rest can somewhat change. Also, My tank now has a PH of 7.2 after a week cycling, so I believe it will be ready for Saturday for the 1st fish (danio if I take this avenue)
Any input is welcome.
