Angelfish Bioload

[Chrisinator]

I was wondering how much an angelfish would contribute to a bioload into a 30 gallon. Im hoping to upgrade soon. Basically, I just wanna know, in terms of maybe percentage how much the angelfish will cover.

I was thinking about this as a 30G, never dealt with a 30 so don't get mad if it sound stocked
1 Angelfish (any good looking angel ideas out there?)
2 Peacock Gudgeon
2 Apistos/Ram (I'm thinking Apisto Cacautoides, Ninjessi, Borellies or German Blue Rams)
2 Killies *still debating (Gardneri or Clown Killies)

6 Cories (Panda or Habrosus)
10 Schooling fish (Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish/Threadfin Rainbows or Cardinal Tetras)

Any inputs? Im thining I might have too much bottom dwellers. If I do, I might just switch up cories with maybe Hatchetfish or some Splash Tetras.

Seems pretty full. I'd choose between the angel and the rams/apistos personally.

If I was to choose the rams, how much room would I have?

 

[jpappy789]

Probably enough to squeeze in more couple more "schooling fish" depending fish but thats about it IMO.

Thanks!!

So, the stocking above sounds ok with weekly water changes and over filtering?

If you recommend any other fish to change the ones I have, please don't hesitate to suggest it!

I'm no entirely sure on the killis as I've never kept them but I dont see why there would be an issue. The stock looks good to me (minus the angels).

Thanks for the help. Im a little hesitant in getting adding an angelfish just because they get big and I tend to like having lots of small fish. So, im still thinking about it. Do you have any other idears on "angel" type fish?

 

[Chrisinator]

anyone else have any inputs?

I would consider the "territory" loads. I'm no expert on these fish but do you think anyone is going to feel crowded? Do gudgeons, killies, and/or rams occupy the same areas of the tank? Like I said I'm not familiar with these fish, or the tank size/footprint
