One month on!
Tank fully stocked now - don't think there's room for anything else anyway - but correct me if I'm wrong! A few more shrimp or a snail possibly?
Stocked with 5 amano shrimp, 6 peppered cories. 9 harlequin rasbora and a single female koi Betta, who is the most chilled one in the tank haha! Not phased or bothered by any of her tankmates and always comes up to the glass when I come into the room or near the tank. Swims near by me when I'm changing water or trimming plants too. Rasboras shoaling nicely too and since adding the background to the tank they're colours just pop!
Parameters have been sitting fine at 0, 0 and nitrates of about 3/4. Continuing to do 50% weekly water changes. Dosing with flourish half dosage Evey few days. No problem hair algea anymore since updating the lighting system and dialing back on the fert. plants doing really nicely!
Had abit of my floating sag wither but that was due to being battered about by the filter. Solved that problem now n it seems to be recovering nicely.

I am uneasy about the koi betta. Betta are not good community fish. Both males and females can be very aggressive. I would encourage you not to take the chance and remove the betta, wish you the best of luck.
