stocking

I snagged my sister a 20 X High for her 20th birthday. Its dimensions are 20.25 x 10.50 x 23.75. She has a stand with 2 tens on it. The top 10 will be replaced by the 20 X High. Currently she has livebearers, barbs, tetras, etc. She has been to a couple CCA meetings and really likes cichlids. Is...

I bought a 150 gallon tank. I am planning on doing a Malawi tank. I have a trio of Livingstonii(male is about 6") that will be housed in it. I also have 3 Red Empress(with at least one male - the group size range is about 3.5-5") I was planning on housing in it. I also have a group of yellow...

So, my 125 gallon is about to look like this: 1 Oscar 1 Bocourti 3 Jack Dempseys I kind of had my eye on a Pearsi... but I am think that is just pushing it too much. Is this overstocked? Can I add say, 1 decent sized catfish and a school of some sort of dither fish, doing 50% weekly water...

I am going to be setting up a 150 downstars as the backdrop to my desk, and I want to be very careful about what I put in it. I am thinking of a single or dual species tank. If a single species, I would like something that gets large, and has at least semi attractive females. Not really into...

Recap for those who aren't tired of me yet :wub: ... virtually as soon as we got our tank we had plans to upgrade. That was a lesson in project planning. Now the plans are now very much in the works! The 55 is in house and we will set it up this weekend. We are going to get the 90 done in the...

Hey all, I have a few questions about mbuna stocking. Right now, I have a 20 gallon tank with 5 young demasoni (4, 1.2'' and 1, 2'') but they hide ALL day long and I want to add some more variety to the tank. 1) Would it be irresponsible to add more fish to such a small tank? (I was thinking...

Tank is 58 gallon (36" long) fully planted tank with ABN pleco, cories, one girl apisto borelli, rummynoses and green fire tetras. All are staying. The five Bolivian rams are a different story. One is super dominant and picking on everything and two are hiding and while I have at least one...

Thinking about getting a 30G cube set up. Guess which one. :D Any stocking ideas? I was thinking something like shrimp and tiny fish like scarlet badis and may be endlers. Cool killies could work as well. Planted of course. Any other cool and unusual ideas?

Hey all! Ok with my current 55 gal set up and my 5 Yellow Labs and 1 Cobalt Blue Zebra. I am getting 4 Yellow Tail Acei (2-4") this weekend. Also possibly thinking of a few Moori's and end of april I would like to get some 1" Demasoni's. I was thinking 10 Demasoni;s. Is this a good number with...

calvus, breeding angels, breeding cutteri, brichardi pulcher, and an L134 oh and a small group of guppies....

In a 150 g tall I have the following: Haplochromis sp. "44" (4 juvies) Lamprologus ocellatus (pair) Altolamprologus calvus black (4 @ 2) Neolamprologus buescheri Zaire gold (4 juvies @ 1-2) Cyprichromis leptosome blue flash (school of 10) Neloamprologus leleupi (1 lone fish I couldnt net on a...

I found a cool spreadsheet that will help you figure out how many and what types of fish can go in a particular setup. http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aquariumforum/showthread.php?t=49330&highlight=stocking+spreadsheet I've tested it, and I think it's very impressive. Obviously, much of...
