Hi all
So I have had my fluval roma 125 for quite a while now, been through various aquascapes, some more successful than others but was looking for a bit of a change as I have been giving my tank a thorough clean as I seem to have been having a snail problem the past few weeks.
Here's a pic of my tank in it's roughly current state;

I have the standard 2 x T8 bulbs with an external aquamanta efx300 filter, dosing daily ferts (without co2) and my current stocking is;
5 Cardinal Tetras
4 Glowlight Tetras
2 Leopard Corys
1 GBR
Unfortunately relatively recently I lost 1 of my GBR's and 6 of my leopard corys, I thought the problem with the cories might have been a lack of oxygen in the tank but I'm unsure. I'd like to get more leopard corys and cardinal tetras soon but what else would you guys suggest? I might rehome my glowlight tetras and my remaining GBR to an alternative tank to make room for more new fish in this tank. I was looking at a hillstream loach that looked really nice in my LFS but I don't think it would suit my tank in case I don't have a good oxygen level. I might also getting something that eats my snails in case I do have another outbreak!
I'm also looking to rescape my tank slightly, what would you guys suggest for this? I would like to stick with low lighting, daily ferts and no co2 as I have been having some success in this compared to other alternatives I have tried before!
Any advice welcome and thanks
