Tips Stocking for 8 Gallon Fresh water Tank

[milindsaraswala]

Hello guys,

With all your help and patient after 21 days my 10 gallon tank is now fully fish less cycled. My water testing is 0 ppm Ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite and 10 ppm nitrate but my ph is only 6 ppm. Is there any problem for it.:19:

Next thing I was looking for stoking my aquarium. I was looking for colorful fish maximum I want to put but I don't need to put only type of fish I want to put different type of fish.:help:

Please help me on that

Yay Congratulations on your cycle. thumbs2:

Remember to keep adding the source of ammonia untill the day you get your fish and on that day just before you add the fish I would do a large water change to dilute the nitrate.

As for the stocking I will leave that to the others as they know their fish selections better than me. For you center piece fish though you may want to consider looking at either a Siamese Fighter (Betta) or a Dwalf Gourami.

With only 8g you will be limited. A Beta would be nice and happy. You could do 6 of danios, tetras, or barbs but will need to do a little extra maintenance to keep it clean. Your ph should be ok just keep it a stable as possible the most fish will adapt. Keep in mind you have a small foot print and not a lot of room so you may opt for 1-2 slow movers.

I think 5 or so fancy guppy males would be nice, colorful, and active. May want to harden the water with a little crushed coral for them though.
