I have a 20G tank that I want to plant and add small, schooling fish to. I have bought my Ecobalance substrate and a conditioner, as well as correct lighting and such. I want to know if I should setup my tank and plant on the first day of tank filling? I wanted to get 6 tetras and a pleco fish to add day one as well. Not sure if I should wait it out or get a fish conditioner as well to add to the mix so I can have fish and plants day one. My tank is 24x12x12 1/2 and I wanted to add the plants as follows:
1 micro sword or dwarf hairgrass, 2 hornwort, 1 anubias barteri, 2 cabomba, 1 java fern, 1 water sprite, and 1 green cryptocoryne.
I wasn't sure if this was enough to plant my tank or if I needed more/less in quantity or diversity. Any help is welcomed warmly!
