Hey! This will be journey from -almost- the beginning of my journey to wherever (if ever) it ends.
This is a newly setup tank. Please do not ridicule me on cycling as I am well aware how to cycle. I am doing fish-in. I do a water-change every other day.
►Current Set-Up:
-Top Fin 5.5gallon Aquarium
-LED lighting that came with it
-DIY Sponge Filter
-5lbs Black Aquarium Gravel
-A few Java Fern
-Some Moneywort
-Ripped up Marimo Moss Ball
-1 Female Guppy (soon to be 2 or 3)
-1 Albino Bristlenose Pleco (I know it will need a bigger tank. I have a 30gallon in the works but couldn't pass up on the price of $4.25)
►Current Questions:
1)Can I use this soil (look at pics at the bottom) and cap it with my gravel?
2)Is my Java Fern going to make it (I think it is haha)?
3)What type of lighting do I have (low, medium, high, etc.)?
4)How would you go about getting the soil in (if use-able), with a stock already in the tank? I can empty completely and save most of the water however, I'm worried it will kill my fish as I've read it can screw with the levels in the tank.
►What you've all been waiting for-PICTURES! (dont hesitate to ask for more if you need/want more specific pics)
-Soil
-Full Tank Shot (the shells with the moss are no longer there. The moss is free drifting)
-Java Fern(2 different ones)
