Aquarium Advice Addict
So my 20g has filled in very nicely and I have removed my pom pom goldfish. I now have my 3 pearl danio (will probably add 3 more), 6 zebra danio, 7 'agassizi' cory cats (though I strongly suspect them to be 3 lined), and 2 oto's (will probably add 3 more).
My ph is 6.7, my ammo and nitrites are at 0 and my nitrates are at trace level (I'm using crappy test strips still, but levels had been maintained stable for a month before I started adding fish 4 at a time weekly, I removed the goldfish yesterday morning and levels were the same this morning as they were before lights out last night) and I'm starting research on what types of peaceful feature fish (or pair of fishes) would fit in best with this type of set up, so here I am- looking forward to hearing suggestions.
Other specs on my aquarium-
Plants- anubias nana petit, aponogeton ulvaceaus, rotala wallichii, rotala indica, ludwiga repens, bacopa caroliniana, cyperus helferi, cryptocoryne undulata, cryptocoryne wendtii 'tropica', echinodorus "red ruben", echinodorus orientalis, java fern- "tropica", "narrowleaf", "windelov" and "malaysian red", nymphaea spp "red tiger", alternanthera reinicki "roseafolia".
Hardware- UTH 75W, fluval U3 running sponges, ceramic rings and polyfloss, 2X desk lamps running 50/50 cfl for 4 hours, 1 satellite + LED light fixture for 10 hours, O2 pump run on lowest setting from an hour after lights out to a half hour before lights on, and 1 back up 50W heater set at 72°F.
Substrate composition- layered- silver sand, laterite, ecocomplete/ pea gravel and ecocomplete/ sand top layer.
Substrate ferts- API root tabs and seachem flourish tabs.
Liquid Ferts- seachem flourish excel, seachem flourish, aquavitro envy, aquavitro propel, and occasionally tetra florapride, plus I use seachem replenish when my hardness starts to waiver.
This tank has been running for 6 months now and I have not lost any fish, despite an internal parasite infection over 2 months ago. The only plant that did not take was the downoi (pogostemon helferi) that was uprooted and eaten by my now banished starter goldfish "pom pom".
Thanks in advance to any and all suggestions!
