How many fish can i put in my quarantine tank? i have in my 50 liters quarantine tank 1 pleco, 1 Panda Corys, and another small fish, and 4 small Panda Corys, I have now empty the tank, and i have put

1 - Honey gourami
1 - small Crossocheilus siamensis
2 - small Corydoras venezuelanus

And have ordret some more, and will come whit the mail tomorrow

5 - Amano Shrimp
20 - Malaysian Trumpet Snails
3 - Zebra Nerite Snail
2 - Orange sulawesi

And can get 3 small platy from a friend

Will this be too little or too much? because they have small bioload, and the bacteria has grown and now when the fish is taken away I can then put 50 % ekstra bioload in, right?
 
Hi.

Personally, I don't order or buy any fish while my QT is inhabited. I wait until they have moved to their permanent homes, and then, if required, I get more stock. Otherwise it's less quarantine and more holding tank.

What is in the main tank? Do you know your GH, KH and pH?
 
I have move the fish from the quarantine tank they have been in the quarantine tank in 4 weeks and now moved over to the main 350 l tank, in the main tank that is now the fish from the quarantine tank, and 4 Cory, 2 guppys.
Do you think i will bee fine whit the bioload, and not getting Ammonia spiks ?

I would wait until your Q tank is empty... you dont want to risk the new fish getting the current ones sick
