Stocking levels for my 35Gal

[Fawke]

Hi there,

In addition to the fish in my Sig, i would ideally like to get 2 more Pictus (they're great) and a pair of mid-water fish (maybe keyhole chichlids or another pair of Gouramis)

In addition to what i have in my tank.... do you think this would be over-stocking?

I realise my Plec could get rather larger than he is (5"), i have still not really established the kind of plec he is at the moment..... probs a common.....
If or when this happens he will be re-housed....

Wat'd'ya think ?

Thanks again

PS - C-mon England !!! 4-2 4-2 4-2

This link will help you work out how many fish you can keep in your tank.
Make sure you consider how big you existing fish will grow while working out if you can fit any more in!

63" seems a bit excessive to me..... even if i knock that down to 50" it seems alot....

Dunno tho, any other comments?

Does anyone have an opinion on these stocking levels/my proposal....?

hahaha i do have to agree on this comment.. im also expecting a new tank on friday (yeahhhhaaa)


as for stokcking levels, what are ur current water parims, whats ur filtration like, does ur tank look over stocked (in other words u see fish in every inch of the tank?)


imo u could hav 2 or 3 smaller fish... like scissortail rasboras? but only if ur water parims are ok....


you have to think of it this way... more fish = more waste and not enough room...
