Brand new tank

[Alasse]

Thank you

I believe it would be around 90Gal

For fish. There are 9-10 platys, 2 yoyo loaches, 1 gold gourami & 3 neons that are going to ride out the cycle in it.

Once it has cycled, 2 more yoyos, 6 khulis, 6 oto cats, 4 bristlenoses, possibly a clown pleco, & and a few more varieties of platy, providing they are available (panda, red striped tiger & bumblebee platys) Although this is not set in concrete at this stage.

Very nice! Look forward to pictures with it's inhabitants.

Perhaps if the neons survive the cycle then more of them as they really do better in larger groups. I am sure it will be great!

The 3 neons cycled in a different tank with no problems I've not lost a fish to a cycle ride yet. I've never done a fishless cycle, i prefer to cycle with fish, which can be done successfully, with no harm to the fish, prvided you do it right.

I will definately not be getting anymore neons, they are not really suited to the hard/high PH water that is here. These three are whats left of a school of 20 (that were originally bought for a fully cycled tank) that i will let live out their life here. They school together and there are no predators in the tank to stress them so they will be fine

Congrats on your new tank!! great job Aquascaping!! Looks fabulous!!

Sounds like a good set up!

I what are you going to do with all the extra platys that will appear?

In my tank I only have 5 cherry barbs and 5 tetras. This sounds horrible, but I am just waiting for them to die off (naturally, I still maintain them) so I can move over to goldfish. With only ten little bitty fish my tank sure looks empty.

Any fry that survive will be traded back to my lfs or fed to the cichlid i'm thinking about getting *L*
