hey all, so got the list of fish i'd like, but having a problem of everything aside from the fish.
My tanks cycled, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites.
Fish i plan on keeping
6 mollys (1:2)
2 shrimp (ive read about peoples tanks getting overrun by shrimps, if i buy 2 different species are they less liekly to reproduce? (would rather do without the hassle)
2 dwarf flag cichlid
1 flash pleco
5 dwarf loach
Recommended temp 24-27 degree celcius
ph 7-7.8
My tank atm 37 imperial/44 us gallon
I've got 4 cloud minnows, 2 goldfish in there atm, but im gonna donate the goldfish to my lfs once i got tropical. The heaters not on but ive just stuck it in. Ive got 2 filters running, 1 internal bioflow (matured) and 1 external. Ive ran them both together to give the new filter time to mature without risking the build of ammonnia and what not.
The plants in there are all fake, except 2 (dont know what they are) which i got a while back. thought they were amazon swords but i just recognised them on a post that they stated wasnt a real aquarium plant, but often sold as real plants by lfs lol
The substrate atm
I plan on changing this to playground sand. For the general look and for the future plants

My tanks going to have 2x45w lamps, once i get the t5 lamp holders.
Im not 100% on plants and having a hard time finding which ones would be good to keep, can anyone suggest any plants given the recommended parameters? Do i have to provide additional CO2? Ive read about giving the plants nutrients, will that alone do?
Also i'll get a piece of driftwood for the plec, probably weighed to slate.
