Hi, I’ve moved my fish from a 10 gallon to a 20 gallon long and everyone is settled and doing fine. I wanted some advice on adding new fish.
Current stock:
4 rummynose tetra
3 Cory sterbai
1 apisto orange flame male
1 mystery snail
proposal:
Add 8 rummynose to go to 12
Add 3 Cory to go to 6
(Maybe?) add one more apisto, diff species
my rationale is that both the tetras and the corys would be happier with a few more of their kind. I originally wanted to get a female orange flame to pair with my male but have been convinced here that will lead to tragedy with the corys. I would love to have a 2nd apisto if 1) there’s room, 2) there’s a species divergent enough and hardy enough. My pH is 7.4 and TDS 190 ppm (function of my tap). Temp is 78 but I could change it. Ammonia, nitrate and nitrites are below detection limit. Tank is setup with lots of structure to block sight lines and fine sand.
thanks for any advice!
best,
Andrew
