Aquarium Advice Addict
So I knew my tank was understocked. In the past year I've only bought 2 fish after all so I plugged my numbers into Aqadvisor and it came back with only 50% stocking so it's time to think about adding some more fish
My current stock:
Harlequin Rasbora - 9
Praecox Rainbows - 3
Orinoco Angel Pleco - 1
Blue Gourami - 1
Ret Tailed Black Shark - 1
Next week I am gonna start working on breeding my Rainbows. I am gonna bump the school up to 10 which will bring my stock up to around 80%.
There are only 3 caveats on this tank:
1 - No cory cats - They don't get along with my substrate and I wouldn't put them through that.
2 - No diggers - It's a planted aquarium and the substrate isn't nice to digging fish.
3 - No fish that can't handle quickly flowing water. I have a lot of water turnover in my tank so some fish from slow moving waters will not fare too well. I am probably somewhere in the realm of 550gph of flow in my tank.
