hi, i just started up a 5 gal hex tank and a 2.5 tank. and thats all i have. iv got dwarf gourami, killi, panda cory, 2 ghost shrimp and a gold mystery snail. snail in the 5 gal, and 5 guppies in the 2.5. all is looking well. these are the first aquariums iv has since i was about 6 or 7. im looking to eventually plant both tanks and get a snail and shrimp for the 2.5. i rushed thru getting the tanks running but all is well, i put i nice piece of driftwood in the 5 gal without curing it first, i do a 20-30% water change every other day to keep the tannins low but like the effect. the shrip absolutley love the wood as well.
