Hello...New here and to the hobby. I have a 29Gl tank that I have had up for about 2 weeks now. I bought a kit from Elite and have the Elite Hush 35 filter. First, I am cycling using Danios (please no comments - took the advice I got from Aquarium Adventures since I am new) Tank is doing fairly well, AA does water testing and told me this past Friday I was doing good. I also have 6 small plants in the tank. Found out that I have low iron in the tank (plants turning yellow) and added some chemical that contains chleated iron. I have 10 danios in the tank and two algae eaters (not sure what they are silver with a black stripe) because I have algae on my plant leaves, apparently these fish will only eat the algae and do a good job cleaning plants. Now on to my questions.
Can someone give me a recommendation on water testing kits?
Is the Elite Hush a good filter?
I am starting to think about stocking fish (numbers and kinds of fish) now and really am not sure what or how to plan since I am really new to the hobby. My wife wants colorful, I would like an Angel or two but not sure if my tank is big enough for them. Can someone give me some thoughts on what to look at? What would be good with the Danios? Also, can I put shrimp in there instead of plecos or loaches?
Thanks for your time.
