So I have a 10 gallon fresh water tank, with 7 kuhli loaches and a pair of apistogramma cockatoo (I think, I know its apistogramma not sure the specific name). I have a 5 gallon betta tank, that I magically balanced the plant to fish waste! I regularly test the tank but haven't needed to change the water. I still clean up from time to time. We also have a 20 gallon long, with tetras, corys, pair of Kribinses, a bristle nose pleco. I honestly think it's over stocked but, it's more my boyfriends. So he choose the fish, plants and scaping. He does a 30% water change once a week. My boyfriend is setting up a 40 gallon breeder and is going to take the apistogrammas from the 10 gallon tank. So I am brain storming now what I can add to my kuhlis!
I want the mind set that the kuhlis are the "star of the show." Maybe something that stays in the middle of the tank. I lean more toward hardy guys. I have a few cave like things, that are fake I know it bothers some people but not me lol. Right now I have a java ferns and am trying to carpet pearl weed without co2. I'll probably add some water sprites eventually but am waiting to grow it out of our 20 gallon. I think it would be cool if some of yall could mentally just treat it as your tank and throw some ideas out there.
Sorry I don't have any pictures.
