Ok so I have a TON of questions!
First off, I have 4 guppies in my tank. My tank was cycled using fish food for 4 weeks, and just that. My ammonia was nothing when I put my guppies in my tank so I think they are safe. My tank is a 33 gallon tank with a 150w heater placed in a darkish area (not direct sunlight). I have had this setup for about a week.
So my first question is that my water randomly went really clear. Ive read about this before being good, but can I have some details? What is happening? It is crystal clear right now... looks great.
Now this is my list of fish I want.
10-15 neon tetra
1-2 sucker mouth dwarf pleco
2-5 platies
(maybe)Dwarf small rainbow fish
So my question is would that be over crowded?
I know rainbow fish are schooling fish but can they be kept in groups of 2 or 3? I already plan to have neons so, perhaps rainbows are not a good idea.
I am also adding the platies next, so when can I do so?
Also, if I put a pleco in my tank, will it eat all the scraps off the bottom the fish make? or does it just eat algae?
Thanks a lot! :-D
