Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am thinking of setting up a new tank with some bigger fish in it,
Tank size - 150cm x 50cm x 66cm..... 400 odd litres
Going for an American cichlid Tank for personality and size
Fish:
1 Red Tiger Oscar - Astronotus ocellatus
1 Jack Dempsey - Rocio octofasciatum
1 Gold Severum - Heros efasciatus
1 Firemouth - Thorichthys meeki
5 or 6 Silver Dollars - Metynnis hypsauchen
I did run it through the program Aq Advisor and i got these results
May eventually require 120% of your aquarium space
May need to deal with teretorial aggresions later on
Reccomended water change schedule - 38%
Aquarium stocking level is 120%
I really like all these fish and it would be a shame to take one out just to drop that percentage down a bit, I know the logical one to not put in there is the Jack Dempsey, but im hoping that it might be ok. Im also assuming that plants would be a no go in this tank?. If you have any advice or thoughts as to whether that would be a good mix, or anything to do with good kinds of food, substrate, tank decor ect, that would be great.
Thanks
