Hello everybody, my name is Rock am new to the box. Have 4ftL 60gal tank, new to aquariums in general.
Inherited some platies that just finished reproducing I think there are roughly 15 of them now + 8 zebra danios, 7 otocats, 8 glass shrimp and a dwarf gourami. had a few more but were subject to domestic violence and had to be separated. I think one is female and the males all started fighting; at this point I am looking to keep fish that stay small.
The tank is currently planted with some amazon swords, a moss ball, dwarf baby tears, new zealand micro swords and some brown algea. have some driftwood, petrified wood and a holey piece of limestone in there; the substrate is gravel that came with the tank second hand, and running a magnum 330 filter. ph is around 7.5. No CO2 yet dosing with flourish excel and potassium. Lighting is t5, 2 bulb overhead 72watt, 26000K.
Have read alot about CO2 and lighting, not really sure what to do next? Also seems like I should have used some kinda substrate besides unknown old gravel, but everything seems to be ok..... so far
