Stocking Ideas For A 60l Tank?

[Geoff1991]

Hello

I am looking for some stocking ideas for my 60L elite tank.

Unfortunately im currently doing a fish-in cycle. While thats going on im trying to figure out what i want to put in

I like those bottom feeders called corydoras or whatever... But how many?

I currently have 2 mollies in there and im open to suggestions for fish...

Many thanks.

Oh and, heres a picture of my tank...

Im currently working on replacing all the fake plants with live ones.

aww mollies in a cycle.. they hate poor water quality.. not a good choice at all.. sorry, did u buy them then find the forum and is there no way you could return them and get on fishless cycling?

dont want to sound mean ive lost mollies recenty due to mouth rot and they dont half suffer

 

[shelaghfishface]

to add, i think it would serve you well to go to the beginners part of the forum and read up on cycling with and without fish

 

[Geoff1991]

Thats pretty much what happened... I rang the shop and they wouldn't have them back because there wasnt a problem with them. I've decided not to shop there again.

Edit: Yeah, ive been hanging around there and reading up on fish in cycling. I just keep testing and changing the water and im also trying to get my hands on some mature filter media.

well done then, keep the water chnges regular, even 3 times a day if need be ( always leave an hour between a water change and a test), im sorry to hear they put you in that situation, some are just concerned about cash, but keep asking questions and you`ll get there

how long have you been cycling and what are the current test results?

 

[Geoff1991]

About 4 weeks and ill go and test now as i did a water change about 1.5 hours ago

I believe she is pregnant... But thats the least of my worries at the moment.

sorry didnt mean to sound rude, was advising on cover for the fry and to keep the water changes up

 

[Geoff1991]

Alright, cheers. I can only see one at the moment. How many should i expect?
