Aquarium Advice Activist
So my girlfriend and I just got a 20 gallon Top Fin long tank (24.1x12.5x19.1) a few nights ago (first tank btw), which is cycling now. We have decided we are going to make it a planted tank for a more active and natural feel. I am sure I will have PLENTY of questions on the do's and don'ts of planted tanks later. For now I am thinking of which fish I want in this tank, that will cohabitate happily together and be active as well as a few to clean the tank a bit.
I will let the tank cycle for a few more days then get my water tested to be 100% sure it will be ok to put fish into. Then I will put whichever fish will be the hardiest to help the ecosystem thrive with as little chance of the fish dying as I can get.
I hope that is all correct so far
Here is my idea so far. I am sure there is something wrong with it though, being as this is my first tank.
A little worried about the Guppy being all alone, but I think he will be ok hanging out with the Tetras. I don't want overcrowding but I REALLY don't want to get rid of the Apisto and my GF absolutely has to have a Yellow Guppy.
Any tips or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated, as this is my first time and would like to get it right.
