I'm currently working on setting up a new 90G tank. We currently have a 20G that's been up and running great for probably a year. We knew little to nothing about fish and have it seriously over stocked. Despite that fact, the fish and tank do amazingly well. As I set up this new tank, I'm researching and learning a lot more about bio load and fish compatibility. We will be keeping the 20G, so not all fish have to move. Please help me decide what to put in the new tank and what to add.
Here's what I'm looking for. I like color, variety, and quantity. The more the merrier, lol. Yes, I know there's a limit.
Here's what is currently in the 20G.
1 - 4" Angel, king of the tank
2 - 2.5" Pearl Gourami
2 - 2.5" Gold Gourami
1 - 3.5" Bala Shark
2 - Pictus 4" & 3"
2 - 1.5" Rainbow Sharks
3 - 2" Tiger Barbs
2 - 1" Cherry Barbs
2 - 1.5" Rosy Barbs
2 - 1" Gold Barbs
2 - 1.5" Electric Green Tetras
3 - 1.5" Platinum Albino Tetras
3 - 2" Danios
Yes, I now realize how overstocked that is. We knew that we were stocking ourselves into a larger tank, lol. Picture father and 14 year old daughter browsing the LFS on a regular basis
So, what should move? What would you add? I love Cichlids, but want a lot of fish. That has me looking at the dwarf Ram Cichlids. How could I make this work?
Tank specs:
90G - 48x18x24
Eheim 2217
Hydor 300W
48" bubble wand
2 Air Stones
1 1.5" gravel
Tank will be properly fishless cycled.
