I've been out of it for the past 5 years

Last time I was hear I was going off to college and had to sell my 5 gallon and all the things in it. And today I just set up this 40 breeder. My plan is to have a nice vibrant community in here. Harley’s diamond tetras a trio of pearl gouromi and some amano shrimp. What do we think

It's a lovely planted tank! Welcome back! That stocking sounds great! The Pearls will definitely look great in there!

Nice my only concern is..is that big rock balanced up there on top?
Because if it was to fall in the right direction you would have quite a big mess to clean up lol.

The wood flat on top. So it should stay unless I have a fish strong enough to dislodge it. But the filter is in the other edge of the tank. And it’s only here until the wood stops thing to run way lol

Nice tank….…nice stocking choices.

So this what we have now 10 harlequins 8 black skirts and 4 amano shrimp. And way too many plants to count. Shall we keep going ?

Besides maybe a few CoryCats, it might best to leave well enough alone. Interestingly, I paired up my Diamond Tets with Harlequins in my 33g long. The two fish groups get along fine and are at different zones in the tank which is cool.

What I should have said was to leave well enough alone, but add to the shoals of each. Maybe add 4-5 black skirts and 10 Harlequins. Those larger shoals in that gorgeous tank would be awesome imho.
