Hey everyone! I'm finally going to be upgrading my tank in one week to a 37 gallon from my original 15 high! It's been pushed back for so long due to moving into a new apartment that's under renovations and the contractors keep pushing back my move-in date (not happy about it). Anyways, I just got my new aquarium for my birthday and it's patiently waiting to be put together. It's a 37 gallon with a marineland 350b filter, i don't know what the lighting is off hand but i'm not going to venture into planted tanks quite yet, but it even has a moonlight! OOOOOO AHHHHHH! lol I'm so excited! It will have white sand, lava rocks, and driftwood in it with fake plants and a black background. I've already boiled out the tannins of the driftwood ahead of time so that's already to go so the day before I just have to rinse the rocks, sand, and plants.
My question is, how does this stock list sound? I currently have 6 neon tetras, 3 albino corys, 1 platy, and 2 Bolivian rams. Everyone gets along great, my platy is best buds with the br's
The stock I would like to add is 8 bloodfin tetras, 8 cherry barbs, 2 albino corys, and 4 neons (and a couple nerite snails).
So the final stock would be this:
5 x albino corys
10 x Neon tetras
1x Platy (I'm trying to get away from live-bearers)
8 x Cherry Barb
8 x Bloodfin tetras
2 x Bolivian rams
I used the aqua advisor calculator and even though I'm slightly overstocked, I still have satisfactory filtration at 108% for the inhabitants. I currently do about 50% pwc a week for my 15 gallon, so I plan on doing 30% a week for the 37 gallon as per the aqua advisor suggested.
I would like others opinions on this since I know that you should only use that as a guideline when it comes to stocking. Thanks a head of time for any and all advice!
Also i forgot to mention that i will be using media from my 15 gallon to cycle this tank until the bb has built up!
