They're all pretty small right now, about 2 inches up to maybe 2.5-3. Would the fact I have a 37 gallon sump on the tank help reduce that stock %?

I have a 67 gallon tank 48 inches long, with 6 giant danios in it, AqAdvisor states that they take up 63% of the stocking. Does this seem a tad excessive? Many sources say a school can be kept in a 30 gallon long tank.

No tank is ever big enough to supply the imagination of a fish keeper :D I used to have a 75 gallon and thought it wasn't really that big... Until I can live in the tank with the fish, it's not big enough

One was a dwarf gourami who essentially wanted to kill everything in the tank, he got taken back, he had plenty of space and everything but just was a mean dude. Another I partially regretted but not really was my Anostomus Anostomus, he would have great days and then other days where all he...

Had a nice spike of ammonia using my fish food to fishless cycle, and seeded with a bit of filter media from my established tank. Considering making this tank planted lightly, maybe just up my light globe to something better and get some liquid fert, as I'm not confident enough to go into the...

Both my tanks have got high flow and high oxygen. My water is sitting a touch higher than ideal for the hillstream, but will be adjusted when moved to the bigger tank which I'll keep around 23-24 Celsius. This tank has got a 33 gallon sump with a high flow and good water agitation.

Thinking of these fish so far: Hillstream Loach (already purchased and in my established tank, as the LFS had one left and don't often get them in) 6-10 Congo Tetra's or 10-20 Danios 1 Hillstream Loaches 6 Cories or other bottom feeder Centerpiece fish - no idea what to pick Substrate is a...

Second the assassin snail. Maybe some botia sidthimunki if you have a bigger tank to move them too afterwards? I'm not exactly sure how they go with shrimp.

I suppose it depends what sort of tank you're looking for and colours. Guppies, Cardinals, CPDs, Blue Rams. I always enjoyed the Kribensis' colours, although again, can be a bit aggressive. Dwarf Gourami's are a decent choice, I've only ever had bad experiences with them, but every fish is...

Try placing a tasty food in the net and see how they react. Perhaps leave the net in the tank for a bit, then strike :\

I've previously used Prime every 48 hours on a fish in cycle and had good success, was reading through the roof nitrites and a tank full of happy fish, but it took a lot of diligence with water testing, water changes, observing behaviour and Prime. I would have preferred fishless cycle but was...

Nope, the sticker/info has been removed and the previous owners had no idea.

I'm not exactly sure how fast it is, not unrealistic, I got the set up second hand and the pump doesn't say the rate. I can break the flow with a bit of T PVC or similar if I wanted. But I was just interested in a broad spectrum of fish that prefer fast flow. The best way I can explain it is...

What are good stocking options for a 4ft long fast water flow tank, other than danios, white clouds and hillstreams?

Hi everyone, My name is Kyle and I live in Melbourne Australia. I used to keep fish about 6-8 years ago in my early teens and had about 6 tanks, before everything went pear shaped and the money became too much and well, I lost confidence in my abilities to keep fish. I live in a unit where my...
