Stock advice please
So I'm currently still in my fishless cycle, shouldn't be much longer hopefully. I have hard water and my ph looks just above 7.6 but haven't got the high ph test kit for this yet. Tap water is 7.6.
I'm planning on getting 1 bristlenose pleco, 6 zebra danio, and 7 neon dwarf rainbow. I have the juwel vision 180. Do you think these will be suitable any suggestions on anything would be great as I'm new to this. Thanks reece
 
Welcome :)

Your stocking sounds good, although I would suggest something other than the zebra danios; they really do better in unheated tanks, TBH.

You could look at other rainbowfish, or some of the barbs; I'd get a few more of the dwarf neons in the shoal too; all shoalers do much better the more you have :)
 
Personally I'd recommend going with a larger shoal of one species; fish always behave more naturally and are more confident in a big group. You could go with eight or ten of the dwarfs.

You could also look at some of the smaller cichlids, depending on how hard your water is (you should be able to find that out on your suppliers website); maybe kribensis or one of the apistogrammas.
