I have a 30 gallon tank with lots of driftwood, moss and other various plants. Right now the stocking list is:
1 bamboo shrimp, fat and happy and molting beautifully!
1 African dwarf frog
5 cherry barbs all around an inch to and inch and 1/2
Ever increasing number of ghost shrimp
Horribly increasing amount of snails! (Having real trouble keeping numbers low!)
and two newly acquired peacock eels on at around 4" the other a round and active 6" (I accidentally got two when one "went missing" and I apparently did not look hard enough through the gravel. when i got a new one to "replace" my missing eel which I thought slithered down the vent in my floor he poked his head out to welcome his new buddy to his domain!)
My question is can I keep this amount of fish in this size tank, I would also love to get a pair of German blue rams my LFS is receiving soon. I didn’t plan on having two eels and the smaller one hides much more and eats less so I may return him, but they seem to like each others company and rest together when their both out and about. I feed them chopped up earth worms or whole small earth worms each night just before lights out, the only animal in the tank which competes with them for the worms are the shrimp and my ADF.
In a few months I plan on having a larger 55 gallon tank in to which I will put my two eels should I keep both of them.
Sorry this is such a long post! Thanks for reading and replying!
