Recently setup a 50 gal planted aquarium.
Went through a 3 week cycle with plants only. Added 10 Black Neon Tetras and 5 Corys in during the 4th week. Im on week 6 and my nitrate levels have normalized.
Just came from the LFS this weekend, I think I go a bit too excited and bought 5 more Black Neon Tetras and 10 more Corys.
Am I overstocked? I intended these fish to act as my dither fish. I originally planned the tank to house around 6 Blue or Bolivian Rams (they were out of stock last weekend and I'm looking for some BTW - anyone from the Philippines, they're a bit hard to find
).
Oh, I wanted to add 1 or 2 Ottos as well...
