Fish Crazy
Well, my 72G (US) just finished fishless cycling. I want to get some fish this weekend. This tank is ultimately going to be a Discus tank... but I know that it's not advised to put Discus in a newly cycled tank in case it's unstable for the first few weeks/months. Therefore, I'd like to get some other fish that could be added now... that would also be compatible with the Discus (when added later).
The current tank parameters are: 84F and 6.2 pH
I was planning to get:
5-6 Corydoras Sterbai
7-10 Cardinal Tetra
7-10 Rummynose Tetra
1 Gold Nugget or Zebra Plec
Would that be too much of an initial stocking level for a newly cycled tank? I want to make sure that I get enough fish to maintain the cycle... but not too many to overload it.
A few months down the line, I was planning to get around 5 Discus (4-5").
Any thoughts if I'm planning this situation correctly? Suggestions would be appreciated.
