Aquarium Advice Regular
Alrighty. I haven't been into aquariums for very long but right now I have a 25 gallon aquarium with 2 mollies, 3 guppies, glofish ( not goldfish... that will be moved to a different tank once the heater for their tank comes in, they will be my boyfriend's fish), and 3 cories (emerald, peppered, julii). It's got gravel right now and all plastic plants and decorations. In the future I would LOVE to plant it and get driftwood and sand. The fish I was planning for it are 2 german blue rams, a school of 5 bleeding heart tetra, cories, and perhaps a golden dojo loach (I just recently got interested in them ) I used aqadvisor.com and it said the fish would be fine with each other but I couldn't find a dojo loach on their list...
I consider myself a beginner and I've got lots of questions for experienced aquarists... I want to do everything right
• About Plants, Substrate, ect. :
1. What type of sand should I use and how much?
2. What plants should I consider to fill my 25 gallon? (I know GBRs need plenty of places to hide)
3. What kind of fertilizer should I use if I need it?
4. What kind of lighting should I consider? (The hood I have now doesn't cover the aquarium I've been looking at one on petco.com, it's the only place I could find a 29.25 by 11.5 hood)
* Any other information or input would be greatly appreciated.
•About the fish I've chosen :
1. Will the dojo loach be a problem?
2. Do GBRs need to be in pairs? How can I keep them? What kind of decor is best for them to hide in?
* Any other information or input would be greatly appreciated.
