Great info and and love the pictures thanks a lot. I do have almonds leaves iny tank already .] I can just get them next door so I always keep a couple In. The exact stock I was going for turn out is kinda rare in my region so I'll stick with neons and guppies a female Betta if any. The Betta will be added last so I have time to think about if I really want one. I absolutely love the hillstream loach! Been having a hard time to find the pygmy cory .(

Taking in all the great advice. Compiling list seems to be the best option.

So Otto's would have to come in last, thanks! Really helpful info. Both the angel fish and the bristlenose pleco get way to big for what I'm going for. Thank for the info o/

Really appreciate the response. I'll stick with 15 or 16 of stock load at the start. Forgot the tank size lol. 274 L Total. Actual water line is about 210 L. So Otto's are fragile good to know thanks. And yes fancy tail guppy. I'm trying to find pigmin Cory locally but still no luck. Do female Bettas get less agressive if I pair them?

I do not have the same bubbler as you here I what I did to solve the noise issue I had. I went the opposite route of most of the suggestion, I submerged the bubblep exit deeper in the water, but what really solved the issue was reducing the bubble size to as small as possible. I get a fizzing sound from the aquarium know instead of a loud gargling of giant bubbles. Much less irritating.

Hello folks, I would like to have a better understanding of my stocking plans, so any feedback would be much appreciated. Also I don't intende to add them all at once. So I need some bottom feeders that will not get big. I settled on 4 Otocinclus. I get mixed information from the web not sure if they take well to dry food or not, plus mix info that they can eat the same dry food ascorydora or do I need a specific food? I would love to add 4 Cory but I'm having trouble finding ones that stay small locally. Neon tetras 5. Guppy: 1 male, 4 females. A female Betta, this seem to be the hard part a need a predator to eat the Guppy fry (besides their canibalistic parents). And I also get mixed information about if this being a really bad idea or something doable. With out the top pedrator I can't get guppy's or they will in a year over populate the aquarium, I woul like to have it be it's on little ecosystem.

I was going for the floating look. Didn't know that they eventually would sink.

Er tis a honest newbie mistake. Thanks for the input on looks and topic. Trying to figure out how to move a post to a different topic/section.

So this is expanded argila, do you think it's safe for the inhabitants to keep it in my aquarium? I like the way it looks but thought I should ask first. It's still cycling so nobodys in the water yet except for the plants.
