Hi
This is a great site with a wealth of information for newbies like me.
I bought a 24L tank about a year a go from a LFS, i was told to go home set it up and i could put fish in the tank 5 days later.
I started to research the web to see what fish i would get then i found this site and others thats when i found out about fisfless cycling, cycled my tank and stocked it with the following
04 harliquins
03 neon tetras
03 Peppered Cory cats
Then some months later added a sucking loach, and a red tail black shark and a male guppy, now i know what your thinking, all that fish in a 24L tank, overstocked or what, but i never had a problem, never lost a fish, all fish are in tack and seem healthy and happy.
I recently bought a 150L Caymen Scenic Ferplast tank and stand, cycled the tank without fish but using seed from my 24L tank. 2 weeks later the tank is cycled, transfered the fish from the first tank to there new home a week ago, testing the water every day and one 25% water change since they have been in there, everything going well, the RTBS has calmed down, he was starting to get aggressive in the small tank.
I returned the chineese sucking loach to my LFS as he was starting to suck on my other fish.
Yesterday while i was there they had a Golden nuggett pleco (L081), i had to have it, what a beautiful fish, added him to the tank and all is going well, the shark is not even bothered by the plec.
So i now have the following fish
04 harliquins
03 neon tetras
03 Peppered Cory cats
01 Male guppy
01 Red Tail Black Shark
01 Golden nugget
I would like to add 2 to 3 yo yo loaches at a later stage but im i pushing the stocking levels a bit?
I have been searching threads on here for a while and decided that now my tank is up and running i would post a few pictures.
