Hey,
I have followed every guide to effectively fish-less cycle an aquarium I think exists on the interwebs, and am now about a week off from adding my fish (provided all goes to plan).
My current plan is to include into my heavily planted 25 gallon tank:
6 Zebra Danio,
8 Black Widow/Phantom Tetra
2 (1M & 1F) Butterfly/Bolivian Rams
4 Platys
1. From what I have researched, these are all relatively peaceful fish with the exception of the rams when spawning, but with respect to each fish's required parameters, will these fish co-exist in a community tank well together? (25 degrees, Ph 7.0)
2. What order should I add them into my tank, and at what intervals?? The Platys I know are quite hardy so should I add them first? Will the Rams become shy if added last?
3. If not suitable tank mates, could anyone suggest others that may be better?
Thanks in advance!
Alex.
