Thanks so much everyone, its really appreciated and it is also so nice to find a community that is so welcoming
So with the advice above noted I am now thinking
3 guppies
6 or so Platys
6 or so Rainbow fish
Shame about the corys as I was hoping for some bottom feeders as well. Does anyone...
Byron, thank you! It is a bit of a minefield out there, I feel like there are a lot of websites claiming certain fish are fine in hard/soft water when they aren’t just to try and sell more
Having done further research it looks like Ember Tetras are compatible with harder water.
would this be a realistic stocking:
3 guppies
8-10 Ember Tetras
6 Corys
1 Pleco (ensure it’s one of the small species)
On top of that if possible I would love 2-3 fish a little larger ideally around...
Thank you, sorry that was what I meant with the waiting, I was planning to fully cycle the tank over that month rather than just leaving it!
That is very usefully, the local wholesaler I spoke to had recommended having Neons and Guppies together so I will take their advice with a pinch of salt...
Hi all, so I am new to fishkeeping and am due to pick up my new tank next week.
I have done plenty of reading up so will be waiting a month or so before I start to add any fish and then will be doing so slowly but I still cant help but try and plan what I would like to add once I am able to.
I...
