Thank you!

I also have one more question: Do I need to put an airstone in the tank? The filter is "meant" for a bigger tank than what I have, and it does create a lot of surface agitation. Will this be enough for the plants/fish? I plan to d weekly water changes so that would also replenish the oxygen, right?

I don't know the exact gh, but I know that the water where I live is very soft. Thanks for the tip on the Sword :) I'll also look if my LFS carries the tetras that you mentioned!

If you have any suggestions on what to keep with the Rams (probably gold) then I'm open to it, since I still haven't bought anything... Edit: If we can't find anything for the rams, I might be able to go with Kribensis(if I could) but I reaaaaaallllyyy would love to have Rams:wub::lol:

This is the tank: There are a few leaves of Anubias that can't be seen behind the big dragon stone sculpture. (No co2, yes fertilizer)

Thanks for the answers! I am of course going to wait for A and N to be at 0, and for parameters to stabilize. I just wanted to see what fish I could get that would survive(or shrug off) a spike in A or N if that happened for whatever reason? Edit: I just don't want to put my main fish in and...

Hello all! I have another question: So I have my tank set up (looks gorgeous btw), I added live bacteria (fritz zyme 7), hot-roded the filter, I got tons of live plants, water parameters are ok for a new tank, but I'll wait for a while to see that they stabilize before adding fish. even if fritz...

TY!

Yeah, I have been thinking about this but I already have a pretty expensive stand for a 20 high and I don't really have the money to buy a bigger one, since I just bought equipment for the fish I'm gonna have..... But thanks! :)

SO, I've been keeping fish for quite a while, and I have decided to go "all-out". I'm planning to make a 20 gallon high, with lots of live plants and a sand area, since I want to keep blue rams, and I hear they love digging through the substrate. I already bought the substrate, Fluval Stratum...

Thank you guys so much for your help!

I do have a 5 gallon, and I think I have a filter somewhere. The thing is that I am moving in a couple of weeks, and I'm assessing my options on stocking after I establish and cycle my tank. That is a good idea! Thanks

Thanks! I'll keep this in mind. I also have one last question: Since cichlids like to go through the gravel, would live plants be ok? I wouldn't be putting them through the entire tank, maybe just the background and that being it... would this be ok, since they would still have room to peck...

Yes! pleas do go on! I want as much info as I can get my hands on :)
