Hello,
I am considering starting a new aquarium, and I'd appreciate advice on the stocking plan, in terms of:
- stocking level
- compatibility
- temperament
- disease susceptibility
- environment preferences (e.g., real plants vs fake, sand vs gravel)
- water preferences (e.g., pH, temperature)
- food preferences (e.g., flakes, pellets, dry freeze).
It's a 20 gal aquarium, dimensions are L 24 x D 12x H 16 (inches). I would make sure the tank has the adequate level of filtration, cycle the tank properly etc.
I still need to decide on which substrate to use (sand or gravel) and whether it's ok to have fake plants versus real plants.
Here is my current plan:
6 Neon Tetras
6 Zebra Danios
6 Lemon tetras
6 Pygmy Corys
6 Red Cherry shrimp.
Aqadvisor says stocking level is at 109%, which I think is reasonable. (AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor)
Thank you, really appreciate the advice.
