I've been gradually stocking my 75 gallon for the last 3 months (other than initial batch of fish moved over from my old 30 gallon plus their filter), and I'm getting close to finishing stocking... I was using the Aqadvisor stocking calculator as a guide to double check, but I wanted to double check with actual people rather than a mindless calculator
Here's the current setup:
75 gallon planted community tank:
Fish-
1 male King Betta
8 male Guppies
8 Neon Tetras
6 Black Neon Tetras
6 Hangel Rasboras
5 Dwarf Chain Loaches
1 Reticulated Hillstream Loach
2 African Dwarf Frogs
3 Otos
1 Bristlenose Pleco
1 male American Flagfish
Additional Info-
GLO dual T5HO lighting fixture with 6700K and Colormax bulbs (54W each)
Marineland Emperor 400 filter
Rena Filstar XP3 filter
20 inch LED bubble wall
Dosed with Seachem Excel, Flourish, and Iron supplements
20-30 gallon water changes weekly
Moderately planted for now, aiming for heavily planted once everything finishes growing in.
Still left on my stocking plan:
1-2 pearl gourami
4 opaline gourami (technically a combination of the various color morphs, with regular opaline, platinum, and lavender, pending availability, adding at same time as pearls to avoid territories getting established early)
1 red tail black shark (adding last to avoid territorial issues)
I also really wanted to add a school of danios (going back and forth between Fire Ring Danios or a mix of Leopard or Zebra Danios), but I wasn't sure if that would be pushing it with the rest of my stock. I just love their personalities.... When I stick everything into Aqadvisor (assuming only one pearl gourami, not two) I'm at 95% stocking if I leave out the danios... Since I'm overfiltering, will have a lot of plants, and am doing large weekly water changes, would they work, or is this a bad idea? Thanks!
