I'm Back With An Almost Empty Tank :-(

[myrtle]

Hi all,

After having a terrible personal start to the year I am now reunited with my now almost entirely empty 120l tank. The person who was 'looking after' it fed the fish but that was it for 6 months. The occupants are now 2 Zebra loaches, 1 bristlenose and a lonely Celebes rainbowfish. The only survivors of the plants are crypts as the lights weren't put on at all.

I am now considering what to restock with and am leaning towards rebuilding the shoal of Celebes but am not sure what I want to put with them. I'd like another small rainbowfish but then I'm wondering about possibly having a change...
So, what would you lot suggest?

For a start put the lights on a timer.......... as for the other, I will leave to the experts, sorry for your loss....

Is your water hard or soft, OP?

The lights were on a timer, they were taken off it for some reason, I wasn't there to keep an eye on it! I only got to retrieve it today having not been able to get to it for 6 months. The lights will stay off for a couple of days to help the survivors settle again.

Sorry Myrtle, that's a shame, hope all goes well.....
