Got a small (just over 11 gallon) tank cycling with redmoor root, rocks, Java moss, salvinia, Java fern and micranthemum monte carlo. Looking to get 6-8 Chile rasborahs and a ram once cycle is complete in a few weeks. Lots of brown algae atm but I know from past experience that this is part and parcel of the nitrogen cycle.
Obviously proper feeding regime, fasting day once a week and weekly water changes will be the order of the day once tank is stocked to keep water parameters in the right area. But I would still like some sort of cleaning crew.
Apparently, my water is no good for snail's or shrimp, being as soft as it gets at around 3.3°dh. Plus I don't have the capacity for a group of dwarf corydoras.
Do I have any other options available to me ?
Thanks.
