Hi everyone
My first ever tank will be cycled in a couple of weeks, so I'm finally getting down to choosing fish. Picture attached (pls ignore white rocks - had to deploy them to hold the wood down pending a better solution!)
- 90 x 45 x 45cm, plus a sump
- Fairly rapid circulation but plenty of quieter areas
- Mostly slow growning plants but some quicker stem plants at the back
- London water (pH 8.2, hardness 15dH)
Leaving aside water parameters, my ideal fish would be:
Main shoal: White Cloud Mountain Minnows
And then some
Dwarf (salt & pepper) Corys
Lambchop Rasboras
Green neons
Amano and Cherry Shrimp
I think WCMMs will be fine, along with the shrimp? But the internet tells me that green neons are a no-go with my water parameters, and the others will be at the edge of tolerance.
I'd be very grateful for any comments, and any suggested substitutions. A bit of green/blue would be nice...but that may be tricky?
