    My tank has finished cyling already (3weeks with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite)

    SO rite now i have about~12 cardinals
    2 Rummy nose
    2 Harlequins
    4 Otos
    &30? Shrimps

    Thinking of putting in 2 x Corydoras to help with the clean-up.
    2 x Otos
    10 x Cardinals

    Hope the tank is ok with this kinda bioload

    Its a 2.5ft tank (33Gallons) planted tank with the plants growing n spreading well. CO2 about 2bps with Kh of 7 anf ph of 6.8-6.9

    Input pls. would this be a good load for the tank? Thanks!

    hello blades

    if you intend to add 10 more cardinals and 2 corys and more ottos, you may be pushing your fish to water ratio. This would mean that your water change could be more frequent unless the plants that you have can help you with NO3.

    Could you reconfirm your KH level? coz at KH of 7 and your PH is at 6.8 to 6.9 you may be over injecting a tad much...but if your fish are not showing any stress then i suppose it should be fine.

    Blades all plants will help to some degree or other in reducing N levels. In terms of effectiveness, faster growing plants will help more than slow growing ones... as such notice that all the plants David suggested are fast growers.

    Thanks for all the help , guys.. bought 10 tiny cardinals , 2 ottos , 2 cories & 8 yamatoes to bring total tank population to :

    20 or so Cardinals
    6 Ottos
    2 Cories
    2 Harlequins
    2 Rummy noses
    8 Yamatoes
