    So, I started a tank for my daughter early last year. Unfortunately, the one ornament had bad water trapped in it, and the hair algae gripped and went wild.

    Today, I sold all our Krib babies, stripped the tank and gave it a scrub, put new PFS in and put minimal plants in as the others had algae all over.

    I have given her one last chance to look after this tank. Equipment wise I'm running a sponge filter via an air pump, 50 watt via aqua heater and lighting is just a normal LED light.

    WRT stocking, I was thinking of adding 1 male and 2 female guppies for her, but not sure. It's a 45cm tank (about 30 litres). Otherwise a @A new day 's favourites, white clouds :) and a few snails.

    What you guys think?

    I have cleaned the filter in tank water, so it should still have some bacteria, but will leave the tank to cycle properly before adding anything.

    Cheers
    Luke

    Looks good :thumbup:

    30L is quite small, so you can't keep too many fish in there.
    A few guppies should be ok, but keep on top of water changes

    Maybe you could do a single male siamese fighter? Then you won't have to worry about over population :D

    Nano fish will work well in there. Celestial pearl danios or emerald rasbora. Threadfin rainbowfish. strawberry or chilli rasbora. Any of these will be happy in there and you could have quite a few.
