am i fully stocked?

[Rosenweiss]

wow! great! according to the site im only 67 % stocked.. maybe in a few weeks if all is well i can get a few guppies afterall!

I would still consider getting 3 more glass cats and rehoming the mollies though, as the latter have a huge bioload and can get to 5", and would really prefer more space.

yes, I think I will be getting more of the cats! i just love them! I guess I would rather have guppies over mollies .. so i am still considering taking them to the local pet store. if...i bring the mollies back.. and get a few guppies and cats... is there anything else you would suggest to add for some color??? seen as the cats have NONE!

 

[Rosenweiss]

Yep, you could do a school or neon or cardinal tetras. =] Wouldn't do any bigger tetras, but you could do a good-sized (6-8) school of either of those.

wow! rosenweiss... i appreciate that advice.. thats super cool ..my mollies are white so im desperate for color.! let me know if anything else crosses your mind...im considering starting another tank once i master this one and im loving learning about this hobby!

 

[Rosenweiss]

You're quite welcome! If you don't mind since I was able to be of help, can you click the scales under my name and add to my rep? You don't have to if you don't want to, I just didn't know if you knew about it. =]

There are a couple other options, too. Two other good choices would be harlequin rasboras or rasbora briggitae. =D

I strongly suggest getting more tanks if you can afford it. This is an amazing hobby!

AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor

use this its pretty good. I mean you come to understand as you learn more its not completely accurate but its a good starter.

 

[Rosenweiss]

She actually used the site earlier. =]

 

[Hobgob]

Another good one would be head tail light or glow light tetras

 

[silver beard]

I have a school of head and tail lights but they might be a little boisterous for your glass cats!

AqAdvisor is generally considered highly inaccurate.

The most important issue here, as I said in the other thread, is getting a liquid master test kit before you add more to your already stocked tank.

Get one female Guppy and you will shortly be overstocked

if i got guppies i would get rid of my mollies

 

[siva]

Male guppies are the really pretty ones, you'll prob want to go with a group of males, get at least 3 because they are really social fish.

I'm Erin too

guppies dont require a female in the group???

 

[Rosenweiss]

guppies dont require a female in the group???

No, they don't. =] Just if you get one female, you'll need a 2:1 female to male ratio. Better to go all males IMO, unless you want fry.

+1 guppies breed like crazy.

 

[missie]

no fry for me!!!!!! Im having enough challenges with the fish i have or want!!! lol! babies would give me a panic attack! lol..my kids would love it though!

 

[MABJ]
