My tank was has been setup for over 6 months. I did have 7 albino and 2 pepper and 6 sterba Corys with 5 white cloud, 7 Rasboras, 1 clown pleco and about 6 super red pleco babies. This is a 36 bow front. All live plants in bdb
I fed them this morning...not thinking and then did my water testing.
Parameters: pH- 8.0-8.2, Ammonia- 0ppm, Nitrate- 80ppm, nitrite 0ppm....
This tank has been getting water changes about every 2 weeks 10 to 15 gallons. We did miss 1 recently. We had a death in the family and we're dealing with that.
The Corydoras that died were doing really well prior. I have since added a seasoned sponge filter in addition to the HOB. I also have a UV sterilizer in this tank.

Hi Fran! I don't think there is a limit to plants? Not sure though. 🙂 Did you meant to post this as your own question? I don't mind it being here but perhaps you'll get a lot more answers if it's its own post. 🙂
Personally though, I think the more plants it has the better because plants help maintain a clean tank and they also suck up nitrates. 🙂
I am still trying to figure out how to post.. sorry! but thanks for the input!

Hi! I've been out of the aquarium hobby for about 25 years. Finally have time again to start again. I have a 5 gal tank with a betta. Chico is a platinum betta male. He is a fun guy! He has a little fin rot. But meds are on the way. He still zooms around the tank and is eating.
My husband found me a 40-45 gal tall tank for Free! It was at a yard sale. We got it home started cleaning it up and stripping sealer. It is currently in process to be my 1st planted tank. I want to have a few Angels with some Rams a couple Corydoras eventually. I found your videos on YouTube and then checked out the website. I put in my 1st order over the weekend. I. Really excited to have fish again. I just wanted to thank you all at Aquarium Co op for giving me great information that really encouraged me to get back into fish keeping. Thank you!

Missing some info
I had 5 total die. They were swimming around and doing great then bam... floating at the top. They were going up for air the night before....but they do that. I'm doing a 25% or 50% water change today. I'm hoping that will get this back under control. I also noticed several of my ramshorn snail shells are empty. Not sure what that is about.
Should I take them to quarantine and treat for parasite? I QT all my fish and plants with co-op trio. But I can get them all over to QT. Or should I treat the entire tank?
My husband is building a stand out of 2x4's we will have it up soon. Those tables are heavy pine. I understand what you mean about 2 tables. It is being fixed.
Thank you for responding!
