Just wanted to introduce myself as i've been reading a lot over the last few weeks and really enjoying the ups and downs of being a newbie to the Tropical Fish world.
I currently have a 60L tank (with a fluval U2), sand substrate which 'was' planted (speak to my barbs about that...) and has a few larger sections of bog wood, re-planning the tank with more suitable plants very soon (and hopefully a better planting technique).
Currently has 5 Tiger Barbs and 2 Zebra Loaches...seem to be a happy bunch and all very active.
However I guess my question is, when I ordered my loaches I asked for 4, only 2 arrived a few weeks back and still waiting on the 2nd 2 which have arrive this week at my LFS. Everywhere I have read mentions you need at least 4/5 hence I ordered 4, however after further reading i'm now concerned i'm going to over stock with 9 fish?
Any comments on the my stock and types of plants which will not get picked at too easy.
Cheers
