Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello everyone!
My tank is completely cycled (I've kept a close eye on the levels across the board with my own test kit)! I'm very proud and quite excited to get my own fish. But I have a few questions.
I am not looking for huge/fantastic fish, I actually enjoy schooling, and smaller fish (Danios, Tetras, Guppies). Is there a good stocking plan that I can use to make my tank come to life?
Before anyone has any suggestions, my plan (which I want to hold off before getting the advice of anyone who wants to offer) is;
6 Zebra Danios
4 Cardinal Tetra
2 Fancy Guppy
2 Emerald Corycat
This to me feels like I am overstocking the tank. Which is why I am here. I don't want to put a significant bio-load on the tank, and I would like to keep proper schooling with the fish.
Is this an acceptable amount for a 29 gallon tank? Is this too much? Will these fish fight?
My biggest fear is danios/tetras attacking the Guppy's rear fins, does anyone have experience with these to settle my anxiety?
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME!
