I have been wanting to get a few live plants for my 20g tank. Its fully cycled and is currently stocked as follows:
1 gourami
3 neon tetras
3 guppies
6 Panda corys, a platy and a few more neon tetras on the way
I am a beginner to planted aquariums so i was hoping to start off with two or so small plants... any recomendations?
As far as lighting do i need anything specific? I get really confused when it comes to the lighting. I bought my tank used so i dont even know whats in it currently
How about substrate? I have about 1 centimeter diameter gravel right now. Its roughly 2 inches thick. Will i need new substrate? I hope i dont :-?
What will i need for chemicals? I have flourish excel right now, what else do i need?
Like i said, i dont know much at all but those are my main concerns. The guy who owned this tank before seemed to have a planted aquarium so i didnt think i would need to change my substrate. Thats my main worry :/ Any help would be greatly appretiated! Sorry for all the questions, just cant seem to find what i need by research, so many mixed emotions DX Thanks in advance for any advice and help.
