Thank you... I will let it settle and see how it goes!

Yes ... I like the bristle nose ones

Do you think no more fish apart from maybe the bnp and shrimp then for stocking levels?

What’s a bnp? Is that a bristlenose pleco? I like those!

So my tank has now been up and running for 6 weeks.. I have had 6 Zebra Danios in the tank for just over 2 weeks now and added 2 honey gourami and 3 coreys 5 days ago. All good so far! My tank is 125 litres which is approx 30 gallons in US measurements I think. I’m planning to let it settle now...

Fish wise... start with Zebra danios then guppy’s, I would eventually like Corys and some shrimps and one or two pleco’s

I was going to add 6 zebra danios to start off the cycle and then go from there..

Well I wasn’t sure what to do in terms of keeping in the pot or planting! What do you suggest? I kept in the pot for that reason. Ammonia is 0.5 as of 2 days ago so I think that’s okay. Water is 6.7ph ... I have a really good fish store where I bought the tank etc and they said to take a sample...

So for the last 3 weeks I have been preparing my tank... tank bought, built stand... water added, plants added, decor added. So I think I may be nearly ready to add the first fish! Any advice or thoughts on what you can see so far?

It’s had water and plants in for nearly 3 weeks now ?

The tank is now ready for some fish I think...?! Any suggestions from what I have done so far...

I want guppies more than anything as they are so pretty and quite hardy I understand. Also Corys . I have got got sand specifically for them as I have learnt they don’t like gravel as damages their fins. Interesting to hear about the danios and tetras as I didn’t realise that. My tank is 125 litres
