15 gal stocking advice

[Aquariumfish123]

Hey everyone! I just picked up a new 15 gal to add to my collection and i was wondering what I could stock? I would really like to stay away from livebarrors (mollys, guppys ect..) so what could I do in a 15 gal? I was thinking about some angels, is that possible? Any stocking advice would be great! Thanks!

Maybe 2 angelfish. I love swordtails, they are live bearers. Beware livebearers breed like crazy

could I do two angels, dwarf gourami and some albino corries?

 

[Supergummy]

I'd doubt it, I need your tank dimensions first, what about filtration it plays a large stocking roll, so maybe

No, you cannot do angels. Angels need at least a 29g. I'd stick to a single dwarf gourami and 5 corys and 5 schooling fish

Well, there you go, from a big boss ^^^

 

[Aquariumfish123]

its 20 inches long 10 inches wide and 15 inches high

 

[jwh0818]

Yes I know but there is a minimum. I don't recommend an angel fish pair in a 15g. Your pushing it if you add just one. I'd stick to gouramis

Haha not even close. I've just been here awhile

 

[Supergummy]

Gouramis are very beautiful fish!

What's your filter?

 

[Aquariumfish123]

Would the dwarf gourami be the center piece?

What's your filter?

I havent even set it up yet, but I was planning to use an aqua tech 5-15 at 100 gph

Yes

I would go with a slightly bigger one. 100gph isn't a lot for a 15g. That's only x6 turnover rate

 

[Aquariumfish123]

Yes

Oh, i just ran it through a volume calculator and it said that it is actually 13 gallons

 

[Aquariumfish123]

What would go well with the dwarf gourami?

 

[Supergummy]

2 dwarf gouramis makes your tank at a 63% stocking level! you could do a school or to. roof you only wanted on dwarf gourami you'd only be 31% stocked!

 

[Supergummy]

One dwarf gourami

 

[Aquariumfish123]

I think I could do more than one dwarf gourami!
