Hello all,
This is my first post
I am brand new to freshwater and I am hoping for some comments/thoughts on my proposed stock list. I am going straight in the deep-end with a planted discus aquarium, but I have 5 years experience of keeping marines so I am confident I am up to the challenge!
Here is a summary of my tank & equipment and my ideal stock list underneath.
Tank/Equipment
Tank: Aqua Marin Fresh 1200
Aquarium dimensions: 120 x 50 x 48 cm
Volume: 300 L
Lighting: 59w Fluval Plant 3.0 Bluetooth LED
Filter: Oase BioMaster Thermo External Filter 600
Proposed stock list
6 x Stendker Discus (keen to get a mix of colours including pigeon blood, white leopard and blue snakeskin) = 120cm of fish
15 x Cardinal Tetra = 45cm of fish
15 x Lemon Tetra = 45cm of fish
2 x German Blue Ram = 12cm of fish
2 x Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid = 12cm of fish
2 x Zebra Pleco = 20cm of fish
2 x Kuhli Loach = 14cm of fish
Total = 268cm of fish in a 300 L tank...
I am also thinking maybe 20 x Amano shrimp and 10 x Nerite snails, but I would appreciate some advice on these numbers.
Does this seem OK? Any specific conflicts or considerations?
Thanks in advance!
