    not sure if it's called that, but it's actually curved at the front...

    Too many fishes for the tank. Get some granite rocks to break the groundscape and push the sand up to get a gradual slope. Remove the hornwort from the front and use hair grass or glosso or similar foreground plants.

    Re: Tetra tank set up

    how many fishes will be suitable for such a tank's sizing? Does hairgrass / glosso require strong lighting? My 1ft lamp is a 11w type.

    I wouldn't put in too many fishes, especially the type of tetras you have are relatively big ones. Try getting the small ones, i have a 1ft cube with just 6 fishes, and they are the small tetras, like ruby tetras.

    11W should be good enough, by the way, where did you get that light set? PL?

    got the lamp it from Clementi Floral..

    Is it good to place guppies / holland ram in such a tank? Underestand the latter is pretty territorial...

    Re: Tetra tank set up

    A tank that size should house only a small bunch of guppies. I would suggest just keep Endlers in there. A few of them is enough. Plant some fast growing plants, maybe E. tenellus or some mosses. That should help make the tank look more attractive.

    Re: Tetra tank set up

    There are 3 male guppies and 3 panda cories with 1 otto. Is that population healthy?

    Re: Tetra tank set up

    That is enough for now. Try not to add more because small tanks can have issues with water chemistry easily.
