Stocking?

[Sillyfishies]

Have a 27 gallon tank. I was wondering if this is a good stocking list
1 brittlenose pleco
1 angelfish
1 dwarf gourami
1 german blue ram
5 panda corys

I don't think the angelfish could fit there when full grown but if I were you I would replace the angelfish and have a pair of rams and maybe even a smalll school of tetras or even harlequin rasboras

 

[Sillyfishies]

Could I take out the angelfish and add another dwarf gourami and another German blue ram?

 

[Majbarsalona]

I really wouldn't add another dwarf gourami because I've heard they can be very aggressive towards each other

 

[Sillyfishies]

What other fish are as pretty as DG????

 

[Majbarsalona]

I have a golden wonder killifish which I am absolutely in love with his colors, sorry for the bad picture, but I'm not 100% sure of his tank requirement but I'll check

 

[Sillyfishies]

KILLIFISH!!! Those are the pretty fish I've been trying to remember the name of!

There you go!

 

[Sillyfishies]

I'll look at a bunch of killifish and find the prettiest. I think the DG is one of the prettiest freshwater fish.

 

[Sillyfishies]

Blue lyretail hands down. So how about
1 brittlenose pleco
5 panda corys
1 Dwarf gourami
2 German blue rams
(?) blue lyretail killifish

How many killifish could I have?

 

[Majbarsalona]

I would say one male and 2 female but I feel like that killifish would be difficult to find unless maybe you order it

 

[Sillyfishies]

Lol agreed. I'll see if I can find them locally... Or if my LFS will order them

 

[Majbarsalona]

Okay good luck! If you have any other questions feel free to ask

 

[Sillyfishies]

Will my German blue rams and dwarf gourami eat the blue lyretails? They get a max of 6 cm?

 

[Majbarsalona]

I dont believe so

 

[Sillyfishies]

Silly people :/.... Well because the German blue ram is the most fragile when should I put it in?

 

[Majbarsalona]

Well is the tank empty right now? Is the tank cycled?

I don't think the fish will eat the killifish just because they do well with neon tetras who aren't large at all

 

[Sillyfishies]

Tank has 5 zebra danios. It is not cycled (having trouble).

Also 6 cm is roughly 2.4 inches which is WAY to big for dwarf gourami or rams

 

[Majbarsalona]

Well I would wait until your tank is cycled before adding new fish just because it stinks losing fish

 

[Sillyfishies]

Ya I just thought how slow my cycle is going is weird. Also I wasn't planning on putting in fish unless I was told to.
