Hello, i am back.

[Essjay]

Apple snails and nerites will be OK together, but if the apple snails are doing the job you don't need to add nerites. You may not have enough algae for both species together

 

[NearMeBettas]

Yep, id just stick with the apples.

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Plus you shouldn’t get livestock to “solve an issue” because they usually create more problems. You can manually remove algae on the glass.

 

[Obsessed with fish]

Ok, I won't get a fish for algae eating. Instead I'll just get a school of zebra fish when I return the cae because I feel like I need something that stays at the top of my tank.

Zebra danios are very active and require a bigger tank size than a 22g has to offer, unless the tank has a very long base. What are the dimensions?

 

[Essjay]

People who have zebra danios say these fish can cross a 4 foot tank in the blink of an eye. Fish which swim like that need the space to do so.

Hmm ok, what upper dwelling fish should I get?

 

[WhistlingBadger]

What else is in your tank? How hard is your water? How is your tank set up? There are lots of relatively sedate upper level fish.

My parameters
Ph-7
Nitrate-15ppm
Ammonia-0.25ppm
Temp-27-28 degrees celcius.
In the tank I have 7 neon tetras and 7 sterbai coryDoras, the tank has lots of live plants and heaps of driftwood.

You haven't given the hardness of your water - that's GH. We need to keep fish which need the same hardness as our water. For example, so far you have all soft water fish but if you have hard water they won't live as long as they should and hard water fish would be a better option.

I'm not entirely sure of my gh...

I'm not entirely sure of my gh...

You can go onto your water provider's site and they usually tell you in the water quality tests

 

[Slaphppy7]

I wouldn't add ANY fish to a tank that has ammonia...you need to address that issue first

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Yep, get your nitrogen cycle working before you add any more fish. Any detectable amount of ammonia or nitrite is not your friend.

My gh is around 10 currently
