Evening folks, first post here! Ive recently bought a 27gal tank and Im just planning everything out just now. Been reading and reading and reading and reading from the internet and books from the library for weeks and think Ive got everything in my head sorted.
Ive just started a fishless cycle tonight so Ive got 4 or 5 weeks before I put fish in, however the thought of bioloads has never even crossed my mind until tonight when I read a few comments on it on here. Just wondering if there is any way to calculate this or any advice at all, as Im completely clueless here.
And just for your information Im thinking of eventually keeping....
Ram Cichlids (4?)
A few diamond tetras (4?)
2 adult angels
1 crowntail Betta
Cherry/Ghost shrimp
Ive gone on the 1cm of fish to 2 litres of water although that might be overstocked already, as I plan to gradually plant the aquarium as well.
Also, is keeping the angels with a betta a bad idea. Ive read that when they are full grown, the betta might see them as a threat and flip out!?
Any help on the bioloads thing would be great!
Thanks,
Mark
