Now that I'm waiting for the tank to cycle its time to start deciding on what to put in it. I don't know exactly what is available in my area but all the well-stocked and competent LFS are over an hour drive away so it isn't as feasible to just swing by and browse what they have.
I would love to add live plants to the tank once it is cycled but at this point know absolutely nothing about planted tanks.
The tank is 30"x12"x18" (75cm x 30cm x 45cm). 28.1 US Gallons (106.37 Litres).
The Mrs. has a pretty big pull in what we stock the tank with (part of the agreement for being allowed a tank). The species we (she) were most interested in are:
- Zebra Danio
- Clown Killifish
- Pearl Gourami
- Dalmation or Sailfin Molly
- and/or maybe Bolivian Rams
Something like 8 Danios, 8 Killifish, and 3 Gourami would definitely but the upper limit on the tank I imagine? Or 6, 6, 3? Would this be a decent spread through the tank or would I have large gaps? (couldn't find any information on who likes to swim near top or bottom so far)
Photos of the tank (I'd love some direction on planting the tank. For now I'll just start reading the planted tank forum...):
