So 10 months after I first got my tank, this is where we are at!
At the moment I am running:
Superfish Heater
Fluval u2 filter
Nicer pump + 2 airstones
Thermometer
Seachem ammonia and ph alert.
Lights come on about 10am and turn off about 8.30pm.
I have:
4 cory (3 baby added yesterday to keep my single one happy!)
2 adult molly
A lot of baby Molly, maybe 40?
Shrimp
Snails
The shrimp I added a few months ago and thought had died are thriving, we have some red shrimps appear too!
At this point, I change my tank water - normally about 20 litres ones to twice a week.
My Molly breed like mad so will be taking the male, possible the female and a load of fry back to the fish shop so I can have a stable school of females.
Once I have rehomed the Molly I may consider adding a school of little neon tetra or another pretty different colour fish.
Would also love to have one standout fish, but will have to see as don't want to overrun the tank.
Aquascape wise - I am planning at some point to do a rescape with some soil on the bottom and more plants but after the issues I had in the past no rush.
I do still have my bigger tank, I am looking to sell it but haven't had any luck so who knows, maybe one day I will set up the big one again but seeing as this tank is FINALLY thriving and seems relatively stable I am no rush to change.
*I know the top of the tank needs a good scrub and the water level is a little low, will top up in next few days.
