Hi Everyone,

I have a 29 gallon tank that I have been trying to work on for almost two years. I finally got everything I have been wanting to get and I believe I am finished!
In my tank I have-
FISH
1 gold
7 tetra (unsure what kind)
1 German blue ram
2 Bolivian rams
3 emerald cory catfish
1 spotted catfish
1 Rubberlip sucker (not sure of the right name)
3 zebra danio
15 ghost shrimp (babies about to be born :p)
PLANTS
java fern
wistera
water fern
anubias
moss ball
crinum calamistratum
LIGHTING
low
1 24in 15watt T8
1 18in 15watt T8
Temperature
between 75-80 F
Filter
Marineland penguin 350c (up to 70gal)

I have not tested the water yet but so far everything seems to be going great!

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve, anything helps!
thank you in advance!!

If I see right, your 7 tetras are "Black Neons". I am surprised that the shrimp eggs hatched, but either way, they will become fish-food.

Thank you for letting me know what kind of tetra I have, I have been trying to figure it out for two weeks now! Also, I am very surprised too, I have had two females give birth and more on the way!! I keep them in a diy breeder net when I see they have eggs and look like they might be getting close to hatching.

I do want to put out there that the shrimp were meant to be snacks for the fish so that they will have a good diet. I am only hoping that all babies hatch so that I can have free food and because just they are cool to watch.
