Fish Kept:
four synodontis eupterus A.K.A. feather fin, one synodontis ocellifer, one oto, one clown pleco, five neon tetras, two blue rams, two upsidedown catfish, and a few zebra danios.
Corals/Plants:
I have Two clumps of wisteria, started out with three clumps of hogwart but have now become four because they are a very fast growing pant, some java moss starting to grow on a piece of drift wood along with some flame moss growing on some more drift wood. there is also two clumps of ludwigia repens and one banana plant.

Advice:
Just take your time let it cycle which the zebra danios are great for. They are very hardy little fish and can withstand a lot of different changes in the water.

Advice:
1.to speed up the process of starting a tank use dirty water from a friends tank.
i have done this on various tanks and all fish have survived( iput the fish in the tank only 2 days after it was set up)
2. Do frequent water changes (25 % of the water in the tank.
3. dont listen to pet shop staff as they no nothing (do your own research on the net) i have various fish together that are suppose to be kept apart and they are fine.
