oh..whats this? another stocking ques!

[jerzsky]

ok...i have finally decide how i wanna stock my tank, now that i have battled all my problems and everything is all good.

i dunno bout the first two..i think they might get to large, but where i get my stock from says that they need a min of 50 gal.
so here it goes, tell me what ya think:

2-clown loaches
2-burmese border botia loaches
2-angelicus botia loaches
4-swartz's corydoras
3-white skirt tetras
6-cardinal tetras
6-royal black emporer tetras
2-german gold rams

i might be gettin rid of my giant danio and golden algae eater
once i find a home for the danio
and when my algae eater gets to big, but i just read that someone has one that is larger than mine, and they feed it veggies to keep it from going after they're small guys. so ill try that, if not i'll find a home for him too.
so let me know.

thanx all! HAPPY 2007!!!

not a bad plan.. just seems like you need some big fishes like angels or butterfly peacock bass :]

skip the clown loaches, they'll want to be in larger groups, and will definately outgrow the 55G eventually.

a 50 gallon is much to small for clown loaches. they get to 12 inches long and like to be in bigger groups. 180 gallons is a minimum.

im not firmiliar with burmese border loaches though

pick one kind of bottom feeder. it will help them both.

you shoudl probably pick two kinds of tetra also and just get two big schools of each. they will look much better than in little groups.
