Gotcha, thanks Byron! I forgot to ask in my earlier post as well but would you recommend adding each species slowly over a few months(?) to see if the tank can handle the bioload?

Finally an update! Just finished up cycling this tank... it's not looking like I imagined it would just yet 😅 Currently stocked with what I had left in my older established 10 gallon tank, 2 endlers (planning to rehome them), 4 ember tetras and 3 green neons. I picked up 3 nerite snails as...

Gotcha, thank you!

Ah I see... Next tank then (just need a bigger house haha)! Thanks for the helpful hints... that is a beautiful fish. So an updated list for potential stocking: 12(?) Pencilfish (coral red) 12 Tetras (green neon) 6(?) Corys (not sure what kind just yet... could I go with a slightly larger...

Ah ok good to know! The black devil/cappuccinos are beautiful, never seen them in my LFS before. I'll have to keep my eyestalks peeled for them in the future! Noted on the supplement as well, thank you.

Gorgeous tank Byron! Thanks for the tips on the placement and maintenance for the internal filter too, I think I'll go ahead with that for filtration. I do like small fish (especially green neons and embers) as well but my wife has asked me if we could house a somewhat larger fish in this new...

Wow Byron, thank you for taking the time to write out such a detailed reply, I knew signing up for this forum was a good idea! I've never used an internal filter before, I will definitely take a look into the Fluval line of underwater filters. A quick Amazon search brought up the U2 model for...

I recently acquired a very lightly used 29g tank, just finished cleaning and leak testing it. I've only kept 10g planted tanks up until now so I'm a little nervous about this one BUT very excited at the same time! I haven't refilled it yet to start the cycling process but I hope to soon...

Hard to photograph during the day but they're a bit cleaner now... Living room 10g probably could be cut back even more but I felt bad disturbing the shrimp!

Hi and thanks so much! These are slightly older photos... both tanks are in need of a pruning (doing that right now)!

Hey there! 👋 I'm always trawling aquarium forums for advice so I figured it was high time I actually joined one. Been keeping fish and small planted aquariums for about 5ish years now, currently have two 10g planted tanks with a mix of RCS, endlers, ember tetras, green neons, snails and a betta...
