Hi all,
I am new to the hobby and instantly hooked.. It all starts with good intentions and we have made a few mistakes to get to this point but I am really looking for stocking advice for a future tank 60/80 or 110l.
Current tank is a 30litre Superfish Qubiq 30
Standard filter, 7ph, 25degC, medium hardness water. Large plant, some good hiding spaces.
Cycled the tank for a month before buying our first fish. Pets at home allowed us to buy a clown loach(!!) alone and a couple of Mollies. We had them in for a few days and researched that the tank is way too small for fish of that size, so we returned the loach and one mollie. Unfortunately we were not given good advice...
We actually kept one of the mollies as he was really dosile and now also have 8x male guppies, established for a month without any issues. We do regular changes to the water (5-7 days), approx 20% at a time and managed a gravel change during this period too! (Aestics).
I've read lots of conflicting information about what we can actually keep in this tank and as a result decided in the near future we will get a larger tank. I'm looking at 60 / 80 or 110litre tanks.
My question is if we add our current stock into the 110l, what else could we have?
I like the idea of some miniature shoalers like Rasbora or/and neon tetras, but our mollie has really won us over with the personality too.
Just a guideline on what else we could add would be great. We have a large Nerite Snail too so rules out most loaches?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks,
