I have many tanks with no fish and eventually I want to stock them but I'm not sure if my plans are over or under stocking. so just let me know if it's over or under stocked, if the fish aren't compatible, if certain fish would be better in other tanks, recommend numbers, etc
65gal- After I set up this tank I'll have 6 common/comet goldfish (3-4 inches long), 1 Ryukin goldfish (2 in.), and 2 plecos (3-6 in.) (these are fish I already have) but the plecos will move into a bigger tank when they get older and the commons/comets will move into my pond. When will they outgrow the tank?
When they do I'll have:
6 fancy goldfish (2 veiltails, 2 ryukins, oranda, black moors), 3-5 clown loaches, and 3 small plecos (5 inches or under). I know the clowns and plecos are tropical and goldfish aren't but the tank will stay around 70-75 year round without any heater since I live in a warm area. Do plecos and loaches need warmer than that?
55gal- 1 angelfish, 8 corydoras, 6 marbled hatchetfish, 18 tetras (ones that get around 2 inches). Is this okay? Will the angel eat/harass the tetras, hatchetfish?
40gal- 1 convict cichlid, 6 tiger barbs, 2 cherry barbs, 1 German blue/gold ram, 1 krib
20 gal- sorority of at least 10 female bettas
20gal- 3 kuhli loaches, mollies, swordtails
10 gal- Dwarf crayfish (dunno how many I should have), a trio of honey gouramis (2 females, 1 male), some sparkling gouarmis (again, don't know how many)
10 gal- Guppies and dwarf rasboras
10gal-at least 6 small tetras, about 3 platys, 3 otos
10gal-6 zebra danios and 6 glofish.
which tank would glass catfish be best in? Someone gave me two on the 19th along with a pleco and either a neon or cardinal (can't tell the difference) and I know that they need at last 6 in a group and grow to 6 inches. Could I put them in the 55g and have less tetras to make up for adding them?
Note: all my tanks will have good filtration (my 65 has a great wet/dry filtration that will be perfect for messy fish like golds and plecos) and they'll all have tons of live plants and plenty of hiding spots for fish. Also, I know guppies, platys, mollies, etc breed a lot but the other fish will probably eat them and I was planning on having an outdoor kiddie pool "pond" for "extra" fish (the kiddie pool would be in a shady area, buried in the ground, the top have a screen, plants that require low lighting like java fern, and I'd have to find someplace to house them indoors in winter)
