20 Gallon Low Light Planted Tank Build Journal! FINALLY!

UPDATE: Received new fish today. Drop acclimating as I write this! Yay. Ordered 6 cardinal tetras from Msjinkzd.

Decided to ordered them because they are tank raised. Also because all my fish and shrimp I ordered from her too. Hopefully they fair better than Petco and Petsmart cardinals!

Yes, VERY healthy looking cardinals! The tank looks awesome. I bet those cardinals will calm the celestials right down and bring them out in the open more.
 
the cardinals look fat and happy. Your tank looks great. Everything really looks like its growing well.

Very impressed
Thank you so much! I Thought it was going to take a while before they color up like everyone says.

Thanks. At first I was going with just the cardinals tetras, then loved the CPDs. But the more videos on YouTube I saw I had to add some cardinal tetras!
Its funny that the smallest of fishes are the ones all in the front chilling.

LOL, some of my neons are tiny, yet they are quite bold. They hang with the blood-fins that are way larger, like they're one school. The pearl gourami follows you around like a puppy dog. He just makes himself scarce @ water changes. They're all piglets when it comes to feeding. My corys still spook easily, freak out and plow into/through stuff, but they settle down quickly.
