i'm asking about the 90 gallon tank in my sig, i was wondering if the fish listed plus: 3 angels, 1 ram, a pair of pearl gouramis and a dwarf pleco would be ok or not, also, with all these fish is there any room for any more fish or would that cap out the stocking limit?

thanks
 
those balas and clown loaches of yours are going to need a bigger tank, as they all get about 1 foot long. the loaches may take 10 years to reach that size, but the balas will get there pretty fast. I reccomend returning the balas and the loaches too if you have no plans for a bigger tank in the future, and then getting those fish. after you get rid of the loaches and sharks and add those fish, you will be fully stocked.
 
In my opinion, I would say that your 90 gallon is pretty well stocked as it is, what with the size the bala sharks and clown loaches will reach. I don't have that much experience though, that's just my 2 cents. I probably wouldn't add any more fish to you tank.

We'll have to see what the forum elders say though :)
 
up
 
i think everything is fine except the clowns and the balas, for they will get to big for your tank.
either get rid of them or get a bigger tank for them
after that get more Bosemoni rainbows to up the school a bunch, and then some corydoras or other loaches for the bottom where the clowns were.
 
ok, this is what i'm thinking of now:

-2 swordtails
-4 clown loaches
-2 bala sharks
-4 bosemoni rainbows
-2 pearl gouramis
-2 dwarf gouramis
-3 angels
-6 neons
-1 dwarf pleco

with 30-50% weekly water changes and dual emperor 400's (4 bio-wheels), i would get rid of the balas when they got too big which will be not too long and the clown loaches too but that will be a while,is that better? also, i used bio-spira last friday, and the tank has already cycled, should i change the water today or wait another week?

thanks
 
that sounds good except your neons will eventually get eaten by your angels, ditch the neons and and add to the rainbows a little bit(like 2)
 
what about the water change?
 
what about it? o, srry didn see that, id go ahead and change the water, but keep an eye on the params.
