I have a planted 36 bow front and it has a nice group of red fin tetras a group of Cory cats and a Bolivian ram that greats me front and center when it’s feeding time.

Doesn’t look too bad I’d watch it and replace the stand in the 3/4 weeks

If something did shift in the 2 week span I’m not sure I’d trust it for another 3-4 weeks.Is the aquarium stocked with fish or just cycling?

What kind of filter do you have now, most freshwater plants don’t live in saltwater. You’ll need live rock which isn’t cheap. And like was said before the light is as important for corals as it is for plants in a freshwater setup.

They don’t move around like the Cardinals do but when they are in their formation it’s in front of the plants in plain view. When I feed them they are no slouches as far as grabbing the food. Once a week I make some brine shrimp and they’ll scatter chasing the shrimp. When they are gone it’s...

I have Harlequin Rasboras with some Cardinal Tetras in a heavily planted tank. They like to hang together pointing the same way. Every once in a while 1 or 2 will peel off into the plants then return a little while later and take it’s place with the rest.

I’d say your good in fact I’d get some more harlequin rasboras they like to be with a group, you’d have room for another 7 to make it 10.

My betta likes to rest in lots of places one of which he sits against the intake for a few minutes. On his own he swims away unhurt, other times he’ll sit on top the heater. Bettas like to rest now and then unlike regular fish but totally normal behavior for them.

Maybe lookup any local clubs or email any clubs in New Zealand

Since your getting nitrites things are moving along, with having fish and having to do water changes it slows the process down. Hopefully soon your ammonia will start to go down because of bacteria and not just the water changes. Then you'll need the nitrites to zero out which takes more time...

Looks really nice

I supposed it depends where your neons come from, I have a school of a dozen for a few years without any loses.

Cardinal and neon Tetras have nice color and won’t bother the harlequin rasboras

Yes nitrites is what I meant to type. Sorry

Your 3/4 there since your ammonia goes to zero, your nitrites take longer to develop keep dosing the ammonia till your ammonia and your nitrates zero out. Then do a water change and buy your fish.

Let ammonia go to zero then add more, nitrites bacteria grow slower then ammonias so its common to have to wait for nitites to catch up.

Nice looking fish, if I where to try and find a buyer I’d put it in a saltwater forum

When you upgrade it’s always better to go as big as you can fit into a spot and afford.

What’s it made from?

Glad it worked out for you, when I do a water change I put some of the old tank water in a bucket and rinse filters in that. Never have to worry about killing bacteria.
