Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi all,
I'm new to this hobby, am cycling my first tank 120l (30gal); although I'm interested in Oscars / Discus in the future, and maybe a reef tank eventually, the idea for my first tank is a peaceful 'hardy' freshwater community, with a few live plants. I've done a bit of reading, and I wondered what you thought of this stocklist, comments on size for the tank, make-up, care level etc appreciated:
2 angelfish (ideally both male but ?difficult to sex, as usually only aggressive when paired?)
6 male guppy
1 male dwarf gourami
1 red-tailed shark (I understand usually only aggressive with other red-tails and bottom-feeders)
4 neon tetra
4 cardinal tetra
5 odessa barb
I'm most concerned about overpopulating, I think this seems like a lot, am I right? Help appreciated
