Hi everyone,
My tank has just finished a fishless cycle, and now the time has come to add some fish. I would appreciate your advice on the following stocking please: -
A pair of Dwarf Gourami
6 Neon Tetra
and at a later date, when the tank has further developed, I would like to add
a Horned Nerite snail
and some cherry shrimp
My tank measures 60cm x 30cm x 40cm (however my water level only reaches 32cm, as I did not want water coming into contact with the wire of the powerhead in my internal filter, which is a Juwel 600)
I also have a heater setup, currently at 25oC, the pH is approximately 7.5, The tank has a large gravel substrate, with some artificial plants, some natural fern and a couple of ornaments. I intend to add some floating plants.
According to AqAdvisor, with the addition of the snail and 6 cherry shrimp I am well within the stocking level, my pH is fine and my filtration is also fine.
Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 337%.http://www.aqadvisor.com/AqHelp.php#FiltrationCapacity
Recommended water change schedule: 19% per week.
Your aquarium stocking level is 63%
Does the above stocking, with my current tank setup seem ok and is the info provided by AqAdvisor quite accurate?
I look forward to your responses.
Thank you for taking the time to read
