stocking

Relatively soon i'm going to be getting my first tank, a 30 gallon planted freshwater tank. I've read around and there seems to be many options for the kinds of filters and heaters out there but i'm always wary about whether i can trust that brand before spending a lot of money on things like...

Hi! Later in the year i plan to get a 75 gallon planted freshwater tank and was trying to plan everything out sooner rather than later. I'm new to the aquarium hobby but have had some fish growing up. Back then of course i was too young to know any better and my parents most likely didn't do...

Hey guys and gals I have a few question and instead of making 2 or so threads just gonna ask them on one. I recently have been offered a deal to trade my compound bow for a 220 gal tank. My compound bow is about a 500$ CA . Attached will be some pics off the tank fish and heater (some are blurry...

Back into the old account and back into the hobby! Moving into an apartment soon and planning a 10 gallon planted and could use some advice on a few things: 1. Stocking. This is my current list. Aquaadvisor says I'm looking to be potentially overstocked but I wanted to get some...

Hey everyone! So in October I began cycling my brand-new 20g tall planted tank (first one ever!). Things seemed great, it finally cycled in mid-November, and I added a stock of 1 guppy and 6 neon tetras. Then, two days later, the guppy died. I soon noticed the tetras progressively looking worse...

I have a 29 gal and I am a somewhat beginner fishkeeper. I will be planting the tank. I want something more than the average tetras/barbs, even though that would be nice. I want some interesting fish, maybe on the larger side (dont wanna overstock tho) I want something unique! Also, im not made...

Hi everyone! I'm in the process of cycling my first freshwater tank (yep, google took me down the rabbit hole and I learned alllll about fishless cycling) and I have some questions I hope some more experiences aquarists will be able to help me with. For starters, I have a 20g high with...

Hi! My Otos in my 20L are thriving, but I only have 2! I want happy otos! So, I thought, I should pick up a couple more! I have: 1 Betta 6 Lemon tetras 2 Mollies 2 Otos My question is....... How many more can I add without overstocking?

As the title says. I've got a 46G with 2 big Angels, 11 various small fish (cherry barb the biggest), a bristlenose, an African butterfly and a Betta. I recently lost some of my cherries, and would like to add some more little ones. The Angels (gold and zebra) don't bother anything in my tank...

Hello, I am having quite the trouble picking out which type of fish would fit nicely in my 55gl community tank. So far, I have 6 julii cories and 6 rummynose tetras (getting more soon). My stock plan is to add 6 dwarf neon rainbowfish, some other sort of tetra/small schooling fish, and 1 (or...

I have been away for awhile. About a year and a half ago, I lost all my fish when I was hospitalized after a major surgery and then in a short coma thanks to anaphylactic shock. My tanks were neglected during my hospitalization and subsequent recovery. I have a 29G planted tank with sand...

I was thinking maybe peacock/hap but I don't know pretty much anything about African Cichlids or the numbers to stock them at Any help is appreciated thanks

I'd like lots of color and activity for a 100g planted tank I like rainbowfish and guppies I want to kinda avoid dwarf cichlids as I have a rainbowfish and ram planted tank already and I'd like a little diversity I want to do gravel so no corys any suggestions?

I'm pretty new to aquariums and I'm getting a 100 gallon or bigger soon I'm looking for some stocking ideas with lots of color and activity I want either a planted community or an African cichlid tank so suggestions on both Thanks

I'm new to aquarium life, but I've read enough to be somewhat informed. I'm interested in stocking a 20 gallon tank with Glofish danios and tetras. Given 1 inch of adult fish per gallon, with danios growing to approx 2 inches and tertras to maybe 3.....Can I safely stock a 20 gallon tank with...
