Am I Fully Stocked?

[Asteria]

tank size - 55 liter
Current fish stock -
4 guppy
2 swordtail
2 pleco (4cm full size)
10 cardinal tetra

just wondering if i could maybe add 2 more fish


Also
how much filter media could i remove from the cycled and add un-cyled media to it?

Any ideas what sort of pleco? I can't think of any off the top of my head that only grow to two inches.

I would say that tank is full right now - although I am concerned about those plecs. Any idea exactly what plec they are?

All i was told about the plecs is that they could reach 8cm at the largest and thats it
i cant find anything about them at all
but they look exactly like a BN in colour and markings, but have no bristles

Well 8cm isn't '4cm full size' really!

They could well be female BN. If they are they will be producing a LOT of poop which will affect how much you can stock a tank that small. I would also say swords are pushing it because I'd imagine the tank is about 2ft or so?

 

[Asteria]

Yeah if i can ever catch them i will
i cant see them at the mo, they might be slightly larger than 4cm now
and i think i have two different species
im worried i have some that could get huge
but they seem to have stopped growing,

is anyone else thinking a green phantom?

 

[Asteria]

I just looked and yes you might be right

 

[ZoddyZod]

I just looked and yes you might be right

how much did you pay for them?

 

[STEWARDSONS]

I just looked and yes you might be right

then they will grow to around 15cm +

how much did you pay for them? as the green phantom wouldnt be cheap

I just looked and yes you might be right

how much did you pay for them?

you beat me to the question!

 

[Asteria]

i think they were 4.50 each and if they are green phantoms then i got a good deal, but that means they are WAY to big

at £4.50 I highly doubt they are green phantoms......I've never seen these for less than £20
