Aquarium Advice Newbie
I know... another stocking question!! I have a 55 gal with a fluvial 304 and an aquatech 30-60. It has been cycled for about 6 weeks and so far I have:
14 silver tip tetras
14 red eye tetras
4 peppered corries
4 bronze corries
Everyone is super happy, swimming about- no nipping or quarrels I think the corries are actually trying to breed! Which would be great
Anyway... my question is related to finishing stocking. According to AqAdvisor I'm at 97% stocking level, but my filter capacity is 165%. When I add 3 threespot gouramis to the mix, it says I'm at 119% stocking and 126% filter capacity. I'd love to have the gouramis, but not if it endangers the happiness of my other fish! So... do I go by stocking level, or filter capacity?
Also, if anyone has any experience with gouramis with these tetras (or similar mannered ones) please do share!! Thanks for the help!!
