 |
|
lightly planted 30 gallon tank cycling for two weeks now
substrate: new ada amazonia 2
filter: diy filter with ceramic rings and filter floss (UV to be added later)
lighting 3x 32W cfl bulbs,
pH 6.5-6.6
not too high budget though 
visiting kolathur today to buy plants
i have a mind to get tiny fish that stay tiny, so i can have a big school... is that possible? less than an inch mature...
if not, then hardy schooling fish and no guppies or tetras, |

Hi Aregias, my advise is to go for neon and cardinal tetras [they are schooling variety], but before introducing them make sure u have some good algae eaters like ottos , siamese algae eater, Amano shrimps like stuff ....
cheers

i'm worried about tetras getting sick...
i have a 5 gallon shrimp tank with basic red shrimps... 3 of which seem to be pregnant 
once the baby shrimp mature i will move the adults into the 30G
will 15 tiger barbs fit into a 30g? |

| 15 tiger barbs in 30 gallon will be too high. also tiger barbs will devour all the shrimps |

| tetras are the smallest fish that grow around 1 inch (the smaller species) u can also go for galaxy rasboras, boraras, or the native barb puntius gelius which grows to about 1.5 inch max, horodandia autokarali, chela dadiburjori, |

i will try galaxy rasboras...
might wait for java moss to grow and cover tank bottom, that would be like 2-3 weeks 
so many fish, i want them all, soon i will have no space for tanks  |
