I am getting a new aquarium, it is 60 gallons: here are the dimensions 12.75"L x 48.5"W x 25" H. First of all, I'm looking for a filter. Should I get a canister, or will a hob be fine? Could anyone suggest some good brands? I currently have a 20 gallon tank running with a AquaClear, but 60 gallons is a long way from 20.
My second question is about stocking. I've been on aqadvisor a lot and I think I have it down, I just want it double checked. So, here it is:
4 flower shrimp
6 bleeding heart tetra
6 emperor tetra
3 silver hatchet
3 marthaw silver hatchet (I know hatchets are supposed to be in groups of 6, so is mixing them like this ok?)
1 krib cichlid (Not against two, but I want to keep aggression down. Suggestions?)
2 pearl gourami
6 platies
6 cardinal tetras (Would these be ok? They are in my 20 gallon tank at the moment, I can rehome if not.)
Also, aqadvisor says all this only stocks my tank like 80%. This seems like a lot of fish, is aqadvisor wrong, or am I just super used to small tanks? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I love colorful fish(If you can't tell).
