Good evening everyone
I’m new to the forum but i’ve been reading plenty of topics with great interest.
Please do excuse my English as it isn’t my native language.
I’m currently running a dark start on a new setup of mine. The tank is a UNS 45L (45x17x17) and is scaped using Dennerle plants soil, some spider wood and lava rock. I’m running an Eheim classic 250 with a glass spin pipe so that the water remains gentle, a twinstar 45b and CO2 24/7. An air pump turns on at night. In a couple weeks time (might be shorter actually because my filter is second hand and seems to have completed my nitrogen cycle already) the dark start will be complete and I will begin planting the aquarium. I’m gonna use monte carlo, Bucephelandra kedangang, S. repens, Ar ‘mini’ and R. rotundifolia ‘yao yai’.
My question is:
Are there any fish that would be able to live in this setup? I was planning of just having shrimp but the idea of having some tiny fish in there seems appealing. I was looking at Boraras merah or perhaps even Elassomi gilberti.
My water parameters are:
NO3: 25
NO2: 0
GH: 5
KH: 2
pH: 6
Cl2: 0
I can easily make it harder if required.
What do you guys think, any fish suitable for this aquarium?
