Recently decided to start up with a tank again after a couple of years without. Last time I went from a 40 litre tank to two 40 litre tanks to a 200 litre tank. It all got a bit too much with having numerous aviaries to look after aswell so the tank had to go. Couldn't resist picking up a small 30 litre tank though when I saw it so it all starts again.
Just looking for a bit of advice as things slowly start to flow back to me.
The tank is currently home to 6 Ember tetras which at the moment are no bigger than 1cm. I believe they'll probably end up double that. With that in mind, what else would be fine in the tank?
In my previous tanks I had a small group of Celestial Pearl Danio (Galaxy Rasbora?) which I donated to an aquarium as at the time there was a bit of a debate over whether it was wise to keep them if you weren't intending to breed them. However I believe that captive bred CPD are available now? So I'd like to hopefully have a small group again if possible? I think a group of Embers and a group of CPD would look and mix really well if space allows.
Also, if I remember correctly, Amano shrimp don't really affect the bioload of the tank? They seemed fine with my CPD in the past and once my Ember tetras are a little bigger I'd like some more Amano. How many would be suitable?
I can already see another small tank being purchased as the list of fish I used to keep comes back to me. I pretty much used the topic on here that suggested which fish to stock a 10 gal tank with, as a guide. Pygmy cory, Sparkling Gourami, Espes Rasbora, etc!!!
