Back into the old account and back into the hobby! Moving into an apartment soon and planning a 10 gallon planted and could use some advice on a few things:
1. Stocking. This is my current list. Aquaadvisor says I'm looking to be potentially overstocked but I wanted to get some opinions/suggestions on that. Planning to get 30 gallons worth of filter power and obviously would not add all this at once if that will help!
5 Celestial pearl danios
5 neon tetras
3 khuli loaches
5 pygmy cories
1 male betta (he's the only requirement as he's living in an extremely well monitored/maintained fishbowl in my college dorm room right now but I would like to get him out of that.)
Would love to do a ram pair but am concerned that might be too much. Any thoughts there?
2. What's a good lighting setup for low/medium light plants? Tried to do a planted tank with stock lighting a few years back and it did not go well. I would like something strong but not strong enough to require ferts or anything like that (college kid trying to keep things low maintenance.)
Thanks so much!!!
