I am about ready to get my tank stocked, it's almost cycled. I was at .25ppm for Nitrites on Saturday, so I'd guess within the week it should get down to 0.
I will have 4 Africa Dwarf frogs in there. I plan on getting 2 ottos when I get algae forming in the future. I'd like 2 or 3 ghost shrimp (those don't create a large bio-load, do they?). I will be primarily stocking with Neons. I did just put in some low-light plants as well (Java Fern, Hornwort, etc). I hae about 8 different plants in there.
I planned on ~8 neons. Could I get away with 4 or so White Clouds as well? Should I just get the 8 neons and call it a day? Should I go for 10 neons and forget about White Clouds? From what I am told, the Africa Dwarfs aren't a big load on the system. I was also told that the Neons aren't too bad, they are considered to be 1" of fish apiece, and some even consider them more like 3/4". How bad are the white clouds and ottos?
Thanks in advance!
