2 pink gourami
2 orange gourami
4 tetra
2 zebra danio
1 cardinal tetra
1 mystery tetra and danio

i had 30gal that got distressed due to kids, and added

2 blue gourami
1 orange gourami
1 dwarf gourami
2 sm pleco, one that died
1 black molly and one mystery molly fry

Java fern should be tied to wood or somethin else where it can attatch its roots. Make sure not to plant it as it will evbentually die. You can use fishing line or cotton string to tie it to bogwood.

Nice transformation.
Good job and nice tank.

Isn't that a lot of fish? I don't know, just seems pretty over-stocked, then agian I could be wrong...

yes, i think i'm slightly overstocked. some of the smaller fish should be going back to the 30g, but i'm hoping that with the over filtration and weekly water changes that i'll be fine. I currently have 1 400gph hob double waterfall and a 240gph hob with biowheel.
