We are new to the hobby (and the forum) with a 12 gallon cube that a friend gave us. While it is 12 gallons, it has the back compartment for filtration and so the fish are contained in what amounts to more like 10 gallons of room. Trying to learn as we go and hoping to avoid irreversible mistakes or unhappy fish.
Our tank is cycled and started with 2 dwarf gouramis. We added two mystery snails and three balloon belly mollies (2 female and a male so this number is likely dynamic). [I did not realize that the mollies would eat algae and gorge themselves on algae tabs, so now the snails get veggies over night.] This weekend we added some rotala.
We are not looking to make any changes now, letting the plants take root and the aquarium adjust to them. Looking forward I wanted to get feedback on stocking. I am curious what more the tank could handle and what suggestions you have considering the tank and current stock.
Thanks for the feedback.
