So my fishless cycle has almost completed. Its been going for about 6 weeks and now the ammonia drops with 12 hrs and nitrites within 24...so hopefully not too long before the nitrite processes within 12.
With that in mind I thought I would turn my attention onto what next. Being a noob please bear with me I'm sure these questions have been answered before!
My tank is 250l and I was thinking of the following in terms of stocking (many thanks to Davo86 for the suggestions)
centrepiece:
2x Angels
4x Blue Rams
Dithers,
Top - 6x Hatchet fish
middle - 6x Cardinals, 6x Black neons, 6x Rummynose
Bottom - 2x Whiptails and 6x corydoras schwartzi
My questions are -
Can I fully stock once I have verifed (over a week) the fishless cycle has completed? If not what would you suggest in term of stocking and over what period.
What food would you recommend for daily feeds and also any special treats on a less regular basis?
What dechlorinator do you recommend? I assume its about a 20% change each week.
What medicines should I keep on standby?
Apologies for my ignorance, any help appreciated
