Hi guys,
So I haven't been on the forum for a long time. For the past couple months I've had a hard time with work and managing my time so I decided to get rid of all the Discus. I just couldn't do the water changes and care for them so I thought it was best to let them go. I sold my 90g but still have my 40 breeder and now that I have a new much more flexible job I feel I am able to get it up and running again . I am going a whole new route, something easier to care for. I don't want to do water changes more then once or twice a week lol. Here's what I am thinking for stock:
2 Angelfish
1 Dwarf gourami
5 Zebra danio (or possibly those Glofish danio?)
4 Cherry barbs(1 male 3 female)- these should be ok with the gourami right?
3-4 otos
4 pygmy or panda cories.
Tank has about 1.36 wpg so it isn't great lighting but I definitley want the tank planted. Can anyone give me some ideas for plants? (I can't really figure out why but I have managed to kill almost every single plant I have owned.) No C02 but I will dose Seachem excel. I want the tank to have a sand substrate, should I simply put a layer of gravel/ferts underneath the sand for the plants?
