New Tank 35Ltrs.

Hello,
just after a few ideas and some advice. I have just got an Arcadia 35ltrs Arc Tank. I have some live plants and wood with gravel substrate. It has the Classica power filter and 11w Arcadia Arc Pod tropical lamp which came with it.

I have got it running a fishless cycle. I was wondering what ideas and advice people have.

Not 100% what fish to go for yet either.

Any advice would be good!

welcome to fishlore!!!
I would try to find some glofish and maybe some pygmy cories ....for a 9g tank, you dont have allot of play room but the glofish are tiny and the pygmy cories dont grow very big either....I would say you can have 4 glofish and 4 pygmies or you could have 6 glofish and a snail ....good luck and congrats on cycling fishless!

Thanks Shawnie!

Yer I know Im gonna be limited on amount of fish It was a little tank or nothing!

I was told if I got a filter for a bigger tank and did regular water changes I could get away with over stocking. Not sure I want to do that really!

thats great for bigger tanks.....on anything under 20g, you dont have to just worry about overstocking and bioload (extra filtration does great for that) but swimspace .....there isnt much there and stressing fish from having too many, will lead to ICH and other issues ....good luck though!
