Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi folks -
I have a 30 gallon tank and looking for stocking advice.
tank - 30 gal (tall)
filter - aquaclear 50
substrate - gravel
planted
ammonia, nitrites, nitrates - 0ppm
pH - 7.6 or 7.4 (depending on whether I trust the pH kit or high pH kit
temp - I'd like to try to keep a cooler tank so it doesn't take so much energy. Ideally 72 degrees or less.
I do a weekly water change/vaccuum
Currently I just have 6 neon tetras and a mystery snail that have done well for quite some time. I previously had three mollies as well, but I have had bad luck with mollies. There was always one overly aggressive one until there was just one left and then she got sick and died.
What do you think of these possibilities (of course I can't fit all of these, just some ideas):
-more neon tetras
-1 dwarf gourami
-school of green barbs
-school of danios
-school of bloodfin tetras
-school of dwarf or pygmy corys
-cherry shrimp
Thoughts about which you would choose? Incompatibilities that I haven't read about?
Thanks for your input!!
