    Upper Stocking Limits

    in a tank like that I would stick with the pair, try to breed them and all that.

    Starting a cichlid tank...

    pair of honduran red points and maybe a pair of rainbow cichlids

    I'd keep the firemouths just to a pair. Instead of a Texas why not look for a less aggressive species?

    What is the most prolific livebearer?

    guppies are a great choice, although convicts (not livebearers obviously) are better IMO when used as feeders for large fish.

    Stupid Question (bichirs)

    I wasn't criticizing the employees, I'm talking about the fish ID/care cards that the company uses under each display tank.

    Stupid Question (bichirs)

    leave it to petsmart to try to confuse people, sort of like the minimum tank size for oscars is 29 gallon according to those geniuses.

    GENOCIDE!!!

    an ammonia spike could very well do it if it a really high amount.

    GENOCIDE!!!

    how were the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates? You had some large fish in a small tank, so there could've been an issue there

    125G Stocking Help

    Sorry if I was harsh, I just don't see what is so cute about a fish being bred deliberately for its deformity.

    Because blood parrots are a manmade abomination. They look out of place in a South American cichlid tank with geos and rams. There's plenty of other neotropical cichlids like severums that would be better and more attractive options.

    why not a pair of severums instead of the blood parrots, since the parrots look out of place with regular fishes.

    subtract the blood parrots and add a couple of extra female red humps to go along with the male.

    Archer fish tank mates.

    Archers do great with any bottom dweller that they won't be able to eat (and vice versa).

    firemouths are compatible with numerous other Central Americans like Honduran redpoints or any of the Cryptoheros (or whatever they are classified as now).

    # of Exodons for 15gal

    15 gallons is too small to have a large enough school to keep aggression between them to a minimum.

    about ready to quit this hobby!!

    Don't quit the hobby. Worst case scenario is to just dismantle the tank with the sick fish and start over. If you have the space for it, try getting a 10 gallon tank for quarantine, it will save you a lot grief.

    tell me if its over stocked.

    I'd remove the crab, but otherwise it is fine.

    20G stocking

    I would definitely stay away from the inch per gallon rule. It is not accurate at all and can be misleading. The keyholes will get relatively large, so I wouldn't even add to the schools, I would leave it as it is, except maybe add another danio or 2.
