Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi. I'm new to freshwater aquariums and am thankful to have found a helpful forum such as this. My first tank is an Eclipse 12 from Marineland. I would like some guidance on how many fish I can safely have in the tank. I understand that the often heard 1" per gallon is not really accurate.
I want the fish to be happy. I want the fish to get along (no nipping at each other). And all prefer the same water temperature. I would like to have:
1 - Male Betta, 2 - dwarf Gourami's and a small group of schooling fish say 5 - neon or rummy nose tetras or white clouds or cherry barb's.
Maybe a couple dwarf corry
Would they get along? Is that to many fish for the tank? For a pair of dwarf gourami can you have two males of different or the same colours together? Will I need a heater for these type of fish? And what wattage?
Thanks for your help.
