What New Fish To Get Hmmmmm.....

[weezawoo]

Hey guys,
I currently have the following in my tank:
1 x Angel fish
1 x Red Tail black Shark
1 x BN
5 x neons
7 x head + tail light tetras (a)
6 x glolight tetras
6 x harlequin rasboras
7 x rummy nose tetras (a)
9 x copeland's tetras
9 x cherry barbs (a)
2 x sparkling gouramis
4 x dwarf gouramis
8 x bronze corydoras
2 x peppered corys
4 x panda corys
2 x kribs
3 x some kind of tetra can't remember which ones
mix of skunk, napo, black fin corys (had 15 but I know a coupe died so not sure on quantity)
1 x lone albino cory (from new tank)
There are 3-4 other smaller fish I don't know what they are from the new tank but they are so small I can't get a pic of them!


I am going to be moving the red tail black shark out to someone else soon as he is chasing my others around a little bit. They have a bigger tank!
I have a 30litre tank, I want something a little more interesting in there. I am going to the fish shop tomorrow and wanted some ideas of fish to look out for that would fit in well. I am tempted to give some of my tetras or smaller fish to the same lady who is having my shark and up the numbers to bigger groups of the neons for example.
Any ideas for good fish to look out for, also whether you think I am ok to add more fish?

The reason I am asking is so I can research fish I like and if they have them at least I know about them! The shop I am going to is a little out of the way so I can't go, get some names, come back, research then go again

Thanks!

Wow, I nearly had a heart attack then I read all those fish, and then only read 30 liter!
But on fish, I'm not sure, I wouldn't add anymore cichlids, as you have African and American cichlids in there which don't go together to well.
But you could add more bristle nose?

 

[weezawoo]

oops 320 litre haha sorry for the heart attack!!! my 2 button doesn't work well!

I have been waiting for my local fsh shop to get more Bn's as I took their ast one but they haven't had any!

i would be tempted to get rid of a few more (as you suggested) and get some bigger fish. As for what kinds - im not sure. I think a couple of cichlids would look great, but they may not be compatible with your dither fish

In general am I overstocked or am I ok? Got an external filter I just ordered today coming which is like 3x turnover compared to tank size so plenty of filtration.

I am trying to think of possible stocklist for future. Maybe:

1 x Angel fish
3 x BN
10 x neons
10 x harlequin rasboras
10 x rummy nose tetras
9 x copeland's tetras
10 x cherry barbs
2 x sparkling gouramis (up these or get rid?)
4 x dwarf gouramis
8 x bronze corydoras
6 x peppered corys
6 x panda corys
2 x kribs
mix of skunk, napo, black fin corys
6 x albino cory

Then maybe a few others? I love the fish I have but I was silly and bought a few fish every weekend but always a different fish to what I already had with exception to the cory's

x3 filtration? per hour? arguably you could do with more
As for stocking levels, my brain can't do that much maths in one go

 

[weezawoo]

Its the APS 2000EF. Rated up to 1000 litre tanks. THought that would be enough filtration TBH

i would get some more angel fish but different patterns

 

[weezawoo]

Would it be ok to have more angel fish? I wasn't sure if they would fight or anything? I have had mine since he was a baby so he is fine with my smaller fish at the moment so the new ones I get would have to be small also.

Angels feed on neon tetra though. You do have quite a lot of fishes there. Try ##150###. It does the calculation for you.

Hi Adrian, All I got was a load of hashes and 150???

 

[Westwood]

If adding more angels, be very careful with your existing angel they will most probably fight!
As for your stocking, it does seem quite full, but i don't know.
Also for the filter, i would say that is plenty!

 

[FishFanatic13]

yer sorry didnt think about the neons or the other angel fighting over territory

 

[stephenmore]

didnt think your cribs could be with an angelfish if you use ##150### for aquarium stocking it should tell you if you have to many fish or not enough filtration

 

[Westwood]

kribs and angelfish will fight, but if in a larger tank you can usually get away with it. It is due to the kribs being from Africa and angels from south america, so they have different lateral lines.
