A friend gave me a 30 gal complete with everything that his roommate dumped on him..including fish! There's a fist sized black moor, 4 of what I think are oto's, and 3 of what I think are bronze corys.
The tank was pretty nasty when I got it, full of green and red algae as well as a HOT magnum canister filter that wasn't running properly (I managed to fix it). It was full of live plants too. About 7 giant pieces of Anubias (which I just pruned because 50% of the leaves were completely algae covered), two of what I think are Amazon Swords, and some fern looking plant, along with a CO2 canister system that I don't know how to use. Rescaped it (looks really empty ATM) and the water is really murky.
Anyways, I was wondering if this tank if pretty much stocked to it's capacity, or can I add a few more fish (my angelfish is already hanging out in the tank), or should I just go about heavily planting this thing? I really wanted to get another fancy goldfish (hopefully a Ranchu) to keep the Moor company.
Thanks
