I am now at the point when I want to add some fish (will be added over the weekend).
Just a quick reminder on the tank and current water tests.
Planted with sand substrate Jewel Rio 240 running a Oase 350 Thermo cannister filter.
Temp = 24.8c
API Master Test kit
Ammonia - no reading
Nitrate - No reading
Nitrate - No reading.
Tetra easy Strips
GH - between 75 and 150 - hard to tell on the colour chart - but not 75 and not 150.
Information from my water supplier.
KH- 4dkh - soft water.
Been running Activated carbon in small batches since the issue - last batch to come out Thursday 03/09.
So want to have some fish in tank after loosing 12 Penguin Tetra's.
Fish I want to keep include (in the future) - Corys, Otto,s, some Tetra's ( two types) - NOTE - these re not going to be added all at once, I will take advice before I add any of these.
I am torn at the moment on to A) add a small group of fish- thought about Male Guppies - 7 or 8 or B) a single fish (open to suggestions - but maybe a Betta) to "test the water so to speak"
A picture of the tank as of now is attached.
Thoughts please.
