Finally

Finally after 7 weeks of fishless cycle (see thread started on nov 30) I
have something to show for it. Here is a pic of my aquarium, and a
couple pics of some of the fish. (Tetras, betta and platys) i took more
pics of fish but these are the only ones that kinda worked.

Kinda plain, but its a start. All artificial plants, real driftwood.
Hope to slowly replace these with real plants eventually.

Tetras and a female betta.

More tetras, some platys in the background.


Here is what i have

7 neon tetras
7 mickey mouse platys
3 female bettas
1 male betta
3 corys
3 ghost shrimp

Everyone seems to get along pretty well. The male betta was agressive
to the platys at first but has since calmed down. All these fish were
added over 2 days, and has not affected the cycle at all. No ammonia,
no nitrite. I guess the fishless cycle created enough of a bacteria
colony that it was able to handle the load.

Comments anyone? Any thoughts on my fish selection?
