Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have reached this stocking guide, but it appears to be incomplete or the link broken...
Any good advice or guide?

This one is quite good as a general guide
AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor
One of the most useful tools around in my book, but doesn't take all things into account. So while extremely useful still no replacement for doing research.
Stocking seems to have become a science, you go into an aquatic store and they have hundreds of neon tetras in a smallish tank, they seem lively , the tank is sparse ( for ease of access and removal) ... so why is the " home tank " size such an issue?
Hi,
What I was alluding to, is not to over stock the tank as per the shop, but to use a little common sense and watch the behaviour of the fish, and add accordingly, there seems to be too many differing opinions on how many fish should be kept in a tank....and enough equations to baffle , ...fish adapt to their environment and if fed a couple of times a week, and the water cleaned when needed,
I have:
2 weather loaches
4 Mollys
2 smallish goldfish
6 Danios
and 4 Amano shrimp in the same tank with a good amount of plants both real and synthetic, plus lava rocks, bog wood and white River sand
My tank is 88 Ltrs, and my fish are all crazy happy
