I'm stoked that at long last my tank has finally cycled, and I'm excited at the thought actually having fish in it.
I've looked at the links in this thread with regards to what type of fish to populate with, and what types get on with what, and what type likes what condiotons etc, but it's all very confusing and I just end up going in circles. 8O
So I'm hoping you guys can make a few suggestions.
All I know I want is a lot of colour in the tank, fish that are pretty easy to look after, and something to roam around the bottom to clean up leftovers etc. and maybe something to eat a little algae and keep the glass clean as well.
My tank is a 175 ltr, with a trickle filter using a standard sponges and ehfisubstrat for biological filtration. I think it filters around 390 litres/hr.
There's a decent layer of gravel, and before I put any fish in there I intend to put a number of low light plants as well.
Oh, and the Ph seems to be stable around the 7 - 7.5 mark as well.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
