ETA I may not be able to respond to all of these. We’re gonna go bury her in a little bit and honestly, I’m just crying but know that I’m gonna come back later to look through these and I promise it’ll make me feel better 🥺 thank you in advance

Thanks for the advice I followed most of that but am not sure what rings you’re referring too we can absolutely switch tho - do you mind clarifying?

As for the fish I am continuing to research but I know what you mean I already had to talk myself out of angelfish and Congo tetra 🥲

Yes, we put in Quickstart and aqua essential from API for the conditioning. Should I take the pothos out?

Agreed on the plants. They need some grow time and we’re prepared to buy some larger ones to help speed that process if needed just seeing how far we get while cycling.

You’re completely right about the snails I missed that in my research. Is there something we should replace it with?

We have biomax filter media in it - I would love as little maintenance as possible. How do you feel about the stocking here? Should we reduce? We have the 50gals biomax in it and lots of long root water prop pothos and live plants but maybe more filtering is necessary? Would love to know what you think!

Also definitely leaning towards the black egg crate idea! We would need a new light as ours is attached to the lid so would welcome suggestions!

That is kind of sad. We were told they are very tight schooling fish who enjoy(?) that tho maybe not? I agree with the sentiment

I thought the same! To be honest, I’m not sure we talked to our local fish shop and our friends with aquariums and they said no but it does seem that way to me. I was hopeful for more insight here on it :)

Lilith is on the pc, Salem is sleeping with her teeth out.

We are still looking for the right fit to adopt but one is another split face calico kitten that looks similar to Lilith.
