Hi, today I added 6 Glowlight Tetras to a newly (fishless) cycled planted tank. The tank is 18x12x12"/45x30x30cm/7.5UK Gal/9US Gal/34 Litres.
I was wondering if I should add more fish or not and if it would be a good idea to add a shrimp?
Thanks :)
 
if u decide to add more fish i would choose small ones, like a cory? as for the shrimp they would be fine. i have 5 in my bigger tank but i never see them, very good at hiding!
 
You could add a a cory or a shrimp. I would not add another fish though, as it is getting close to the limit for the tank. The shrimps are very good cleaners on plants, ornaments and on the gravel. Cories usually just eatup the extra food that fall on the gravel. :nod: :nod:
 
cories normally prefer to be in groups of 6 or more, so i do not recommend them.
mine grew to be very depressed, then i bought quite a few play mates for him.
