Stocking advice for my new biocube

[VBsAquarium]

Hey everybody, my name is VBsAquariums, I'm a new member, so it's nice to meet you all.

I finally saved up and did it! I bought myself a Coralife 29 Gallon BioCube and stand, it's in the mail and on it's way!

Now, as a college kid, I'm notoriously broke and impatient (thanks aquarium habit and video games, respectively lol), so I won't have time for a saltwater aquarium and will be running it as freshwater for the time being.

In short, this is my stocking plan once I get the aquarium up and cycling:

• 1 Veiltail Angelfish
• 1 Electric Blue Ram
• 1 German Blue Ram
• 5 Cardinal/Neon Tetras
• 1 Corydora
• 2 Cherry Shrimp

...and a partridge in a pear tree haha


Am I mixing anything that will possibly eat eachother and/or not get along? And also, am I overstocking the tank? Also, this will be a relatively heavily planted aquarium. I know the Biocube has a pretty rad filter system built into it, but what do you think? Thanks!!!!

Well with the neons you'll have to be careful they don't get eaten by the angel and rams. Also you cannot keep just a single Corydora. You need at least five of them.

Also, keep angels in pairs. And if you are keeping neons/cardinals, the angels will have to be smaller when you introduce them. My angels are 1.25" and tetras are an inch as well. I also introduced the tetras well before the angels

Angels don't have to be in pairs
