Okay, here's the deal. Our existing 57-liter tank (which has been running for approximately 6 months) has the following: 1 guppy, 1 platty, 3 corydoras catfish, 12 cardinal tetras, 5 glowlight tetras, 5 african lampeyes, and 5 rummy nose tetras, and some plants. Yes, I understand that we are a bit overstocked.
We have 3 other tanks: a 157-liter tank, a 30X30X25cm tank, and a 20X20X20cm tank. Before buying any new fish, I would like to know which of our existing fish would be best suited for which tanks. Then, we could transfer them into a different tank as to resolve the overstocking problem in our 57-liter tank.
Can you suggest which fish we should move and into which tanks in order to start the cycling process? In the long-run, we're not exactly sure what fish we'll want to have. Guppies are definitely of interest, likely for one of the bigger tanks. Anyway, as I said, the first order or business is to try and use our existing fish to cycle the new tanks. I know that we should not move the cardinal tetras or the catfish. They are quite sensitive and do not cycle well. What about the others? Suggestions... Thanx.
