Hi all,
Just recently joined the addiction of aquarium keeping!
A little background on what I have:
-90 gallon acrylic tank
-Marineland Emperor 400 (came with the tank)
-Recently added a Penn Plax 1200 Canister filter (as I was not thrilled with the Emperor)
-48in. Finnex FugeRay LED+
-2x Aqueon Pro 150w heaters
Have lightly planted the tank with Amazon swords, water sprite, moneywort, micro sword and java fern.
I cycled the tank with fish in it (3 red wag platies, 3 peppered cories). I also used a filter from my brother-in-law's tank since he also has an Emperor 400. Started the tank up about a month ago and everything seems to be doing great so far.
So now that brings me to the real topic of discussion: what to stock?
I have done a lot of research and put together a list and would really just like to know what everyone thinks about it. I want to make sure that all the fish will be compatible and that the tank doesn't get overstocked.
So here goes:
3 red wag platies (already in the tank)
3 peppered cories (already in the tank)
4 emerald green cories
4 dwarf gouramis or honey gouramis (I would like 2 pairs, however have not yet been able to locate any females. Need to check at my lfs. Would 4 males be compatible?)
5 rainbowfish (either boesomani or praecox)
6 tetras (neon, cardinal or perhaps glowlight)
6 zebra danios
6 endler's livebearer
Let me know what you think
