While I was helping the 10 year old learn how to test the water last night we came up with a wish list for stocking our aquarium and i told him I would post it for feed back. (tank is 39 or 40 gallons, plastic plants but will slowly transition to some live)
Currently have (all small sized)
6 Danio Zebra's (danio and glow fish)
3 Platies (2 red wag, 1 Mickey Mouse)
Wish list (added slowly no more than once a week or every 2 weeks or more - depending on how the water tests)
5 Skirt Tetra
8 Neon Tetra
2 Balloon Molly
5 Ghost Catfish
1 Algae Eater (Otocinclus?)
Is this doable? If so what order is the best to add the fish? Full schools at a time or partials?
Is this too much? If so, what should i get rid of from the list? he really wants the Ghost Catfish but I know they are larger fish and may be difficult to keep alive with fewer than 5.
