I'm starting a tank and would like opinons on stocking. I have some fish already, sort of know what I want but would like it if anyone can point out possible problems. I have a RENA smart filter rated for 30 gallons, and a 50 Watt heater. The tank is going to be planted, and already has some plants. I eventually want to add some driftwood and a rock cave or two.
15 Gallons:
Already have: 7 harlequin rasboras
Planning:
6 corys (pygmy or dainty)
3-4 red cherry shrimps
maybe a Malaysian trumpet snail.
I would also like a center piece fish, but I would like a species that can be kept in pairs. Bettas are pretty but I know you can only keep one.
Also, if I can't find the corys is there another small bottom dweller that would be happy in my tank?
