I am expecting beaucoup de plants tomorrow as it happens. Will try to remember to take pics! Have attached a bunch of ferns to the wood already, though I had to hold these in my other tank for a while and they're not in fabulous shape, but hopefully with time will sort themselves out.
Planting likely to be quite dense, possibly even over the top, but should be fun anyway. Gotta learn what works somehow!
Re fish, I will be transferring the fish from the old tank, these are beginner fish like zebra danios (4), platys (4 adults, many babies), 8 harlequins, 2 otos, 1 cory hastatus (can't find any more locally), various assassin snails and billions of cherry shrimp.
In terms of new fish am thinking penguin tetras, maybe some cardinals or green neons, possibly a few gouramis (maybe opaline or honey), and either apisto agassizi/cacatuoides(?) or kris. I have hard water, so trying not to push my luck, for instance would love rams or electric blue rams but understand these aren't always healthy out of their ideal water conditions. Altums would work in this tank but again water and temp issues plus shrimp eating issues. Angels look great ( at least the nicer patterned ones) but maybe not enough to overcome the compatibility issues. I do like large schools of small dither Fish like cardinals/neons/penguins, but a few larger more interesting fish work too. Oh, and a bristle nose plec. Would love a blue phantom plec but looking at its requirements and size, maybe not.
Starts to look heavy on the stocking, but reckon this will be ok since this is a hitech tank with big water changes and overkill filtration, and the fish are all small. More a question of whether visually its too much.
OR you can get a commercial Urn
