    Re: My aquarium getting setted up

    old saying...30 gallon = 30 inches of ADULT fish sizing will give you a good rough idea :)

    A)Jumbo Neon Tetras=
    7 x 2 inches or 14 inches
    B)Small school of Habrosus Corydoras 1", Albino Aeneus Corydoras 2", False Julii Cat 2"=
    4 x 1 inch or 4 inches; 4 x 2 inches or 8 inches
    C)Dwarf Powder Blue/Neon/Turquoise Gourami, or Dwarf Flame Gourami 2"=
    1 x 2 inches or 2 inches
    D)Glowlight Danios 1&1/2"=
    3 x 1.5 inches or 4 & 1/2 inches
    D)Harlequin Rasbora 2"=
    5 x 2 inches or 10 inches
    D)You could also do the guppies in here (all fancy males since you won't have room for them when they breed)1.2"=
    5 x 1.2 inches

    GOOD LUCK!

    That inch per gallon rule is "bunk" Are you telling me that a 30 in fish could go in a 30 gallon tank????

    IF you even read what I said, I suggested it as a general rough idea since it was stated that he is newer to this. Where in my post did you read I suggested a 30" fish???? :)

    Re: My aquarium getting setted up

    looking good! I absolutely love corys, as you can tell by my signature... lol Remember to get those plants out of the pots. The other benefit to getting them out of the pots, and it looks this way from what I can see on your pics, is that a lot of times with plants in pots, you actually end up with 2-3 plants. That way you can aquascape a little more.
