First aquarium advice
Hi everyone,
I’ve been keeping my first proper aquarium for a few months now and I’d really appreciate some feedback.
Tank
About 7-8 weeks old, first fish (Betta) 4 weeks after setting up after it had fully cycled
54L (freshwater)
1 male Betta
7 Neon Tetras
1 Zebra Nerite Snail
Water parameters
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: ~0 ppm
pH: around 7.4–7.6
Temperature: normally 26.2°C
Maintenance
Weekly 20–25% water changes
Gravel vacuum during water changes
Cleaning algae from the glass as needed
Lights on for around 6 hours a day
Feeding
Betta: Betta Pro Shrimp Patties twice a day, about 6-8 pellets each time
Tetras: Hikari tropical micro pellets twice a day
Bloodworms once or twice a week as a treat
There are Anubis’s in there, a Java fern, Amazon sword and octopus wood, but still feels sparse to me. Should I add more plants and if so, what?
Is there anything you’d add or remove?
I’m really enjoying the hobby and have learned loads already, so don’t hold back if you think there’s something I could improve. Thanks in advance!
