you can'y have bristlenose plecs in there.BNs need a 30 gallon tank for themselves,and if you want to add another,the tank should be a 55 or 60 gallon your tank is only 17.18 gallons.I know some people keep one in a 10 gallon but they are very territorial whether its a pair or whatever.But if you still want info before you recomend buying a new tank just throw a bunch of anacharis in there and leave it for a couple of days and put in plant fertilizer and tetra safe with a bio filter.Your tank is an 14.31 Uk gallons.
Don't let karma get you, post replies, and replies to your questions you will recieve.
