40g breeder plans...

Says my stocking level is 82%... I feel like that's a low reading for the amount of fish actually in there but idk

AA tends to be a bit conservative, IMO, so you aren't even close to being overstocked

You mean thats not a lot?? Just seems like it would be really crowded... I'm really conservative lol. Sometimes I see my gudgeons in the 20g and think: "Wow they don't have a lot of space". I'm always wanting the things I care for to have more of something

I would only keep one schooling species. That way you can have larger numbers and the fish will show their character more.

Or, sense I apparently would have a lot of room and can add more, why not just add more onto each group!

You could... the Spotted Blue-eye are very shy. They could be out-competed for food.

Just add more onto them I suppose

But that is good to know! I will just have to spread out the food a lot so everyone gets a good amount!

At one time, AA indicated my 40B was stocked at around 160%...pffffttt...I like lots of fish, and they did just fine

Wow that's a lot of fish... That is 60-70 on a 40g... I personally could never do that but that is really cool you were able to!

Alright so new plan for stocking this tank...

Peacock gudgeons: 5

Corydoras Sterbai: 12-15

Pseudomugil luminatus: 11

Red eye tetra: 11

I'm really loving this idea... And it seems somewhat more affordable
