Papagoomba Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 For stocking I was thinking on doing a couple angel fish for the main attraction then having some tetra along with some mickey mouse platties since my daughter loves them. then some corys and maybe 2 hillstream loach for algea eaters. Im going to try to do planted. For now there are fake plants but will be buying some live soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papagoomba Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 So this is my tank currently. I did all the research and was going to do a fishless cycle but came home and my girl had dropped 4 of those 32 cent gold fish in becauae my daughter wanted them. Ive been testing water each day and i have 0 amonia and very small amount of nitrite and my nitrate is at around 20 ppm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
