What do you think of this crazy stocking?

[emerald76]

Saw this somewhere.It's a 25 gallon tall tank,30in by 24 in by 6in
Stocked with-
One Pleco (Not common)
Two Swordtails
Three Mickey Mouse Platies
One Lyretail Molly
One Dwarf Gourami
One Blue Gourami
Some of the fish get the same length as the width of the tank!

That's not a 25g...that's a 18.7g. Yikes!

Aqadvisor said 25

Aqadvisor said 25

Are you sure? That might be imperial gallons

 

[emerald76]

It said 24.9. Us gallons

That does not seem that bad. I mean, its just the Blue Gourami and possibly the pleco (depending on the species) that are going to be the main issue.

I remember a few weeks ago alot of fuss going on about some guy who put 4 Angelfish in a 20 Gallon long.

Those fish all have nice color.

I just did it on Aqadvisor and still got 18.7g.

 

[emerald76]

Wow even smaller than I thought!

for those fish to be happy would take a 30 gal or bigger ,
especially the pleco he's the only one who will grow over 10 inch easy , all the others are about 4 inch tops ,
they tell you they grow big so you don't overstock,
and your fish can move around

He said it wasn't going to be a common plec
He probably will go for a dwarf species

 

[emerald76]

This is not my tank Its a tank I saw
BTW I am a she

.___. Sorry :/

 

[emerald76]

It's okay

 

[Pton46]

So 4 Common Plecos and a Oscar in a 20 gallon is not ok?

Ya gotta start with the plecos don't ya Pton? Now you know that's a pressing subject around here lol

 

[emerald76]

What on earth are you talking about?

First off "HE's not a "HE" "SHE's" a "SHE" LMAO
even I knew that!!
as for a dwarf I have 2 well over 8 inches
just because it says dwarf that doesn't mean it stays that way , it is how it is raised and breed

and for common pleco's I've seen them as big as 2ft

either way I said it would still be totally correct!!
