Weird, I've never heard of a pygmy gourami or a dwarf molly. The stocking sounds pretty good. If you can, you should get a 65 gal breeder. It would have a bigger footprint for the cories. And gouramis like shallower water. Although make sure it's tall enough for the angelfish.

I think he meant Pygmy cories in the 10 gal stocking list. I have never heard of a dwarf Molly or Pygmy gourami either.

Wow. 12 cories will definitely look awesome in a group. Just hope your lfs has that many and you can afford all those fish. In total, you are gonna need quite a lot of cories ( Lol ) and at least $20-30.
I have never heard of a furcata rainbowfish, got any pics of them?

Pygmy gourami is another, less common name for a sparkling gourami.

No I didn't mean pygmy cories, instead I may get snails.

What kind of snails? Is there really a Pygmy gourami at your lfs?

 

[NinjaNomad196]

No LFS nearby... I'll check Jack's Aquarium and Pets... if not maybe Kentucky has some. I was hoping mystery snails or assassin snails?

 

[NinjaNomad196]

New Idea (won't be getting this anytime soon, I mean YEARS):
Oh yeah, probably taking out the green clown goby or blue gudgeon dartfish due to fighting:

Mystery snails and assassin snails are great. But they have TOTALLY different personalities. Ones a scavenger and the other a predator. If you are gonna keep assassin snails, I would keep a separate tank for pond snails and drop a few pond snails in the assassin's tank as food. Both look really cool though.

So this stocking list is for a very far future 125 gallon SW tank?

Yeah, but sorry about the bad quality image.

 

[FishCr8zy]

Looks pretty good. But yeah, the green clown goby and the blue gudgeon dartfish are both aggressive so prob best for one in that tank.

Alright nice!

Well, I don't claim to know much about 65 or 20 gallon stocks but I have done extensive research on 10 gallon stocks and I think everything sounds good except the Platys. I know a lot of people put Platys in their 10 gal tanks but I wouldn't do it IMO. I think they get too big but I may be wrong. In regards to the Glofish in the 20 gal, I would not personally buy them because they are dyed to look like that and I don't think fish dyeing should be supported. It's really your choice if you want them though. Good luck on your tanks!

My platy does REAL good by himself in a 1 gal with filter and light. I SWEAR that he's happy, I didn't think it would work.

I believe glo fish are genetically modified, not dyed so its humane. I still don't like the look though.

 

[NinjaNomad196]

Well it's nice to know I'm good enough to stock these.

Yeah, they are genectically modified somehow and I don't like them either. The green ones were actually white skirt tetras before they were modified.
