so it looks like I will be coming into a 35g hex sometime next week. I'm planning to use my aquaclear 70 on it for filtration, and either a 24", 24watt T5HO (low light), or five 20watt screw-in florescents. it will be planted.
now, I am not quite sure what I want to do fish-wise with this tank. I was considering a few options:
#1: peaceful, colorful Community
in this case I would probably be keeping my guppies (5 adults and 5-6 week to two week old fry), and adding them, 2-3 male platies, a pair of honey gouramis, and something like 6 black skirt tetras or bloodfin tetras.
#2:Aggressive Community
8 tiger barbs, 6 serpae tetras, m/f pair of gold gouramis
are there any other ideas anyone has? ideas in which I could include my guppies would be apprecciated, but if I need to give them up it wouldnt be the end of the world for me.
I will have a betta sorority with some cories and maybe a handful of cherry barbs, harlies, or zebra danios in my 29g, so would prefer to use the space in the hex for other species.
