Set up 40 Gall tank Ph7.2 Kh 1 Gh3 all readings 0 inc nitrate... well planted.... in the tank now are 10 cardinal tetras and 2 Golden Plecs
1. stocking the Tank with 6 juveniles 2.5-3" and growing them out
I dont realy have the time to feed these youngsters also the issue of getting the food out of the substrate might be a problem... ?
2. introducing 2 maybe 4 adults (dont know if this is possible but I cant have 3 can I ?) This way my tank is fully stocked and up and running I will only have to feed them 2 times a day also I wll be able to keep the Substrate cleaner... Only thing is i will loose my cardinals :(
I have learnt so much from this board the most important being Patience
Your feed back would help me in deciding what is going to be the best way Forward In an Ideal world I would prefer to keep juveniles but I feel the frequancy of feeding and the Bioload may be an hinderance.. where as the Adult system would be Fine but there is the adjustment for them of moving to a new tank and they may be set in there ways somewhat ...
