Ok then I have my tank all set up it has been for some time. I have 6 Carninal Tetra, 2 Female Mollys, and a pair of Dwarf Gourami.
The tank is 63L 60cm wide 35cm high 30cm deep with a hidden 3 stage filter spanning the back of the tank.
I want to get rid of the plastic plants and add some real plants to the tank.
How should I go about it as to not overly disturb the community?
Should I take out the gravel and add some plant substrate then put the gravel back on top? If I do is it best to Syphon out all the water into buckets move the fish to a bucket. remove gravel add substrate stuff, put gravel back return water and fish?
I don't want to get a CO 2 system but will if I have too.
I would like to have some sort of "grass" Floor in places along the front with some tall plants along the back wall. All plants should be easy for a beginner, I also wish to have some color in some the plants (red leaves) etc..
Would it be wise to add one floating plant for the Dwarf Gourami?
I would like your Ideas thoughts and opinions , (with recommended plant names if poss)
many thanks
