Haven't asked this question for a while, but before introducing changes to the tank, I thought it might be a good idea to get it checked out...
25g tank - current setup (2.5ft):
- 5 Platies (1.3 inches)
- 2 Blue Ram (2 inches, both male)
- 4 Panda Cories (1.2 inches)
- 5 Harlequin Rasboras (1.3 inches)
- 4 Albino Bristlenose Pl*cos (1.8 inches)
- Lots of java ferns
- Some java moss
Ph is at 7.2, KH is at 2 and nitrate is close to zero (I guess due to plants). So far, absolutely no water parameter problems - all readings are super stable.
Even the above by itself should be considered overstocked if they are fully grown, but I have few more tanks to distribute them as they grow up further (especially bristlenoses and platies).
I'd like to do the following for the 25g:
- 4 Platies (2 different colors, 1 inch each)
- 2 Blue Rams (this time, 1 male and 1 female!)
- 4 Panda Cories (1.2 inches)
- 5 Harlequin Rasboras (1.3 inches)
- 2 Albino Bristlenose Pl*Cos (1.8 inches)
- 6 Cardinal Tetras (1.5 inches)
- 4 Cories (debating between sterbai and adolfoi)
- 4 Amano Shrimps (about 1 inch, will they survive in this tank?)
It looks overstocked just imagining the tank...![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
