And I have no idea what I'm going to do yet! I'm not going to be adding anything for a while.. want to get my substrate picked, need to buy a bigger heater, already bought my ac 110 and will be running a seeded ac 50 on it for a while.. wanted to go for a canister but money limitations impeded that for now. I'm also not 100% on what the lighting situation is yet, but will find out tomorrow. Couldn't pass up on the deal despite it.
Substrate will be a mixture. I'm going to do something I saw elsewhere and have a sand bed(black) in the front for the cory cats.. or should I just say screw it and go all sand? Torn on this one. I've heard it can be hard to keep the bottom clean.
I kind of had things planned in my head as far as what I'd like to do, but I am completely up in the air about what to actually stock with. My main thing will be to get my neons and other assorted little schooling types moved from 10s and 20. I mainly just need to make up my mind about which "centerpiece" fish to get or if I just go for something where no one stands out more than everyone else but still stand out regardless. I just want happy and comfortable fish.
So far the fish that I really like but need to read up on more and find suppliers are(though I have nooo intention of mixing all these, don't worry!):
German rams
Bolivian rams
Angelfish(local stores here have very limited angel selections)
killifish
Boesemani Rainbows
American flagfish
Apistogramma
I'll throw up pictures as soon as things start to happen. I am very excited. I feel like such a dork!
