I recently setup a 10 gallon that I had lying around for some native fish and a crayfish that I caught, however, I am getting pretty bored of it now, and I think I'll give the fish to a friend, or put them back in the stream where I caught them.
So I want to convert that tank to a tropical tank, all I need is to buy a heater.
I have always really liked rams, I kept a bolivian ram in my 29 gallon for about 2 years, until he recently died. I would like to setup the ten gallon now, dedicated to breeding some german blues. I was just wondering if I could pull it off in a 10 gallon considering how small it is and how delicate german blues are.
The tank will have a sand bottom, and will include a piece of driftwood and a slate cave that I made myself. The tank will be heavily planted (there will be two of these lights in the hood: http/www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl36...colormaxlamp10w ) and I am debating whether or not on adding Co2 through the DIY method. The pH of my tapwater is 7.6, so the Co2 will help in that aspect as well. I have the Aquaclear 20 filter, which filters 100gph, so I have a good filter running on the 10 gallon. Now Ideally I would like to add maybe 3-4 Cories in there, but it dosen't matter that much.
I was just wondering what you guys think about that setup, Im pretty excited about keeping a bit more delicate type of fish and trying to breed it.
