stocking for 90

[HeatherW]

I was hoping I could get some help on stocking my tanks. I have had some deaths in my 90 gallon and want to round out my schools and get everyone happy, but I also do not want to be overcrowded.

so here is what I have and what I want to get. can you tell me if this would be overstocked?
90 gallon tank - running 2 aquaclear 110s

current:
3 rainbows (2 bosemani, 1 truquoise)
2 molly (1 male, 1 female)
2 German blue Ram (1 male, 1 female)
6 polka dot loach
14 harlequin rasbora

would like to add:
1 molly (female)
3 rainbows

can I also add 3 platy (1m,2f) and possibly a pleco - maybe a bristle nose or another smaller one?

if I get some babies to survive from the mollies or platies then I plan on keeping them in the tank for 3-4 months then sell them to my lfs.

oh and one more. I have 3 neons in my 5 gallon that I want to move into either the 20 or 90 gallon. I am thinking of moving them to the 90 gallon and then adding 2 more to fill out their school. will this work?

so final stock would be (if I do all this)
6 rainbows
3 molly
3 platy
2 German blue rams
6 polka dot loach
1 bristle nose (or similar) pleco
14 harlequin rasbora
5 neon tetra

That sounds good I would up it to 8 rainbows and 10 neon tetras but everything else looks good

Looks good to me, I don't think it would be overstocked but probably at capacity. Plecos like to munch on driftwood. Have fun!

 

[librarygirl]

Oops Josh beat me to it; I was going to add that you could up the numbers of Neons some too.

 

[HeatherW]

I don't have driftwood in there. how important is that for them? I have a sunken boat theme so there are "caves" for them to hide in, but no driftwood

 

[josh7]

They really do need driftwood because it aids in their digestion.

Sorry you had some losses, I've had problems in my new 90g too. I hope you get things how you want them soon!
I remember the pics of your tank I'm sure you could put some DW in there, even if it's hidded behind the ship!

+1 They like to munch on it. They're made to digest roughage so they need driftwood and fed veggies and fruit regularly.
