Hello everyone. I've got my 55 gallon going through a fishless cycle right now, so I'm putting together a list of some plants/fish I'd like to get. I don't see any problems with them, but I'd like to get your opinions just to be safe.
Plants:
Dwarf Subulata
Amazon Sword
Anacharis
Watersprite
Dwarf Hairgrass
Fish:
5 or so Cories
5 or so Ottos
2 Angelfish
Several small schools of some of the smaller tetras: neons, lemon, penguins, ect
I also plan on adding some crushed coral to keep the PH stable. In the past, I've always shot for a PH of 7, but I read on here that a stable PH is much more important than what the actual numerical value is. That makes sense. It doesn't seem like the fish will care, but what about the plants?
I also have right at 2 wpg, so I should be good there. According to what I've read, all those plants will do well at that light range. I'll be adding root tabs as well. Am I off base here, or am I doing well?
Thanks in advance!
