Aquarium Advice Activist
I have a 54 gallon corner tank. I have a Rena Filstar XP3 filter, and my tank is fairly heavily planted - about 60-70% of the substrate is planted. My water conditions are pretty pristine. I do a weekly 50-75% water change, and before the change it always tests 0 ammonia and nitrite and barely registers nitrate, maybe 10 ppm.
My stock is:
I really wanted to add a pair of apisto borelli, but I can't find any locally and I really don't want to pay so much to ship anything. I've also considered german blue rams and peacock gudgeons, but I also can't find either one locally.
My daughter has really taken a liking to glo tetras, which are modified white skirt tetras. Aqadvisor indicates that if I add a school of white skirt tetras, I'm at 103% stocking but still 200% filtration. Think I would be ok with the tetras or should I stick with a pair/trio of something like the apistos?
My stock is:
- 11 neon tetras
- 10 rummynose tetras
- 10 harlequin rasboras
- 6 cory paleatus
- 3 dwarf gourami (2 female 1 male)
