Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi, I'm Bailey and I'm planning on starting two new tanks. I have dabbled in the fishkeeping world, but by no means am I an expert. I would like to put several varieties of tetras in my 20 gallon tank with some sword plants and java ferns. I'm wondering if there would be any problems here and if I need to know anything specific regarding these plants/fish. To cycle the tank, I am going to start with 2 head and tail light tetras, then add 3 lemon tetras and 3 black neons.
In my 32 gallon tank, I would like to place several gouramis with some red Tiger lotus plants. Unfortunately, I already have a rainbow shark in this tank whom I would like to send to a happy home because he is so territorial. However, I know that gouramis may not handle being used for cycling a tank, so I was wondering if I could use him to cycle the tank first, before I add gouramis. However it is done, I would like to add 6 dwarf gouramis to the tank (2 male and 4 female).
Please offer any advice you have to my situation and if my plan will work sufficiently. Thank you!
