Hello!
I was hoping for some advice on my new tank. Iāve done lots of research but nothing beats speaking to people. I had fish when I was a teenager goldfish type ones and just had them in a tank and didnāt really think much about it. I feel awful now knowing what I do but they did live long and ended up enjoying there twilight years in my uncles pond.
We donāt have a great pint of space so we bought the Biorb 30l flow. However we out 2 platties in and it didnāt feel right. So Iāve returned the Biorb (not a fan) and Iāve got a second hand tank. Itās only been empty a few days so Iām hoping the cycling will be ok. Itās even come with lots of snails which are alive and well.
We have a heater but the water temp is stable at 20 degrees. We currently have 2 female platties and want to build up slowly and safely.
The tank is 600 x 300 x 400. I donāt know if itās 60 or 72 litres but itās the biggest I can get. Itās a Juwal 60
What would work well in there. Iāve like easy and interesting fish. Maybe a bottom feeder or shrimp too. Iām going to get some real Plants eventually.
I have a test kit etc so Iām keeping an eye on the water. Currently PH is 7 and 0 ammonia.
Any other advice youād like to impart. I hope Iām doing ok and right by them. They seem happier as swimming loads more.
