Ok so I have an established 20 gal tank and a new cycled 30. I started the build for the 30 months ago but after moving and such it was delayed but now it is up and running so its time to figure out what im doing with them.
The 20 have 2 schools of tetras and a few plants. I would like to make it a small south american community and get some more plants. The lighting is basic, just what came with the hood, and the substrate is small gravel and laterite (not sure if that's spelled correctly). Right now it has a java fern on the drift wood and an anubias nana. I wanted a taller plant like watersprite or something but not sure what to get. As far as fish goes the final stock I want to look like this;
6 serpae tetras
6 pristella tetras
6 panda cories
1 pitbull pleco
Any thoughts or suggestions?
As for my 30 it is cycled with a large piece of drift wood an a neat looking rock but no plants yet. Substrate is PFS. This one I wanted to do as an asian themed planted tank. The stock list im thinking is either;
3 gourami (1 male 2 female) probably pearls
8 tiger barbs (regular and green as I've heard they will school together)
4 yoyo loaches
Or
1 blue gourami
8 tiger barbs
6-8 of another schooling fish
4 yoyo loaches
Any feedback on either tank would be greatly appreciated!
