Hey Everyone,
Well I work at Petsmart and Im personally having a hard time with helping people stock there tanks. Lets just say that each of these tanks undergo a biweekly 25% water change, fed appropriately, have a heater where temp water is at 79 degrees and have a good filter that is maintained well (This is basically the stuff I know for sure Im telling/showing the customers what is best). However once we get into the question "What can I have? and how many?" This is when I began to crumble as I never had a tank no smaller than a 50 gallon and now Ive been into saltwater with a 150 gallon tank so lets just say Im not used to small tanks with small fish.
Any ideas for the stocking abilities for the following sizes:
2.5 gallon tank
5 gallon tank
10 gallon tank
15 gallon tank
20 gallon tank
Than from there on I pretty much have it down pact. Here at the store we carry a great variety of fish I have to admit...well of course nothing exotic but everything common.
I would greatly appreciate all the advice as Im lost in the small tank world. Also of course I explain that it's not good to add all fish all at once....and all the other info that us members know
