Hey everybody. I'm a newbie with some questions on stocking and setting up a 12 gallon JBJ Nano Cube. http://www.jbjlighting.com/sys_nanocube.html
I plan to do a fishless cycle and add plants.
Here is the fish selection I've come up with:
1 Male Betta
3+ Dwarf Cories
6+ Neon or Cardinal Tetra
? Amano/Cherry/Tiger Shrimp
Exactly how many of each is appropriate? Should I switch out the Tetras for something else? Note that some of the space of the 12 gallons is for the built in filtration system.
What substrate do you suggest? I'll have Cories so I want something that won't hurt them, and I also want to plant some things in there, but I also want something relatively easy to maintain. I'd also like a dark color to better show off the colors of the Betta and the Tetras.
Thanks for the advice
