Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm restarting a 20 gallon tank following a 4 year hiatus. I'm proposing the following as a population:
2 Mini Mexican lobster
2 Dwarf blue lobster
4 Kuhli loach
2 Dwarf sunset gourami
2 Female beta
4 Neon tetra
4 Cardinal tetra
I know the rule of 1 gallon per inch of fish. But my thought is that the lobsters and loaches (as they are bottom feeders) would help reduce the bio-load and not have such a negative effect.
What are your thoughts on my stocking intentions?
Would you like to see other fish included while keeping the lobsters (no live-bearers!)?
Are my thoughts on the bio-load issue sound?
