Aquarium Advice FINatic
Told my girlfriend it was a QT tank incase one of our fish get sick, but I'm adding fish to it to keep the bacteria growing ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway... It's not going to have very good filtration, it was my first fish tank that I put away in the closet of shame. Aqua-tech 20 filter, very small lights in the hood. I'm thinking about putting this 24" light from my old 20g on it, and putting some live plants. It is a Aqueon Single Tube Light Strip, 24". I know that's not very much info, but would this support any plant growth on a 10g?
I dosed the new tank with prime, after about half hour I used the 10g as my cleaning station for my 2 canisters and other 2 HOB's. After cleaning the pads from those filters the water was soo cloudy for about an hour while the new filter cleaned up all that debri. That will give a nice little jump start on my cycle, I'm going to dose it tonight with ammonia.
I'm thinking that I'm going to put 4 Khuli Loaches in it. I've read that they don't have much of any bioload and should work in a 10g. Thoughts on this?
If not Khuli, I'll do something like 2 shelly cichlids or maybe 1-2 Loaches with a Betta.
Maybe male/female guppy and just let them breed and feed the little ones to my Oscar?
Maybe a pair of Apistogramma?
Maybe a RCS tank?
TOO MANY OPTIONS
Anyway...I'll keep this thread updated with my progress and keep a cycle log going.
