1. Tank size:
20 Gallon H located in my office at work
2. Current filtration
Rena Smartfilter 20 (I slit the top of the cartridge, poured out the carbon & stuffed it with filter floss b/c of the plants)
3. Type of substrate
Eco Complete with 4 Anubias, 2 Java Ferns, 1 Java Moss, 4-5 crypts, 2 Dwarf water onions & 1 Hygrophila corymbosa 'kompact'
4. pH of your water
7.8-8.0 (City water report says 7.8, my tests say 8.0)
5. What type of fish you like the most.
Easy, peaceful community
I’m looking for advice or feedback on one of the following lineups. Because this is an office tank (That I had to negotiate permission for & assume responsibility for any damages) it needs to be lower maintenance than a home tank.
1) 4 Peppered Corys & 8 Harlequin Rasbora
2) 4 Peppered Corys & 6 Harlequin Rasbora & 10 (?) RCS
3) 4 Peppered Corys & 8 Harlequin Rasbora & Olive Nerita Snail
4) 4 Peppered Corys & 6 Harlequin Rasbora & a Dwarf Gourami
(one of my office mates is really lobbying for a Gourami to add more color)
5) Some Variant of the above (please suggest)
6) Something completely different
Thanks
