So before I lost 5 fish in my 20H (24"x12"x16") I knew I had to upgrade because it was overstocked. I'm still getting another tank to upgrade at least some of the fish to though. The tank I'm getting is a 30L (36"x12"x16"). Which of these stocks would you guys go with?
Option 1)
In the 20H:
4 Redside Dace
4 Silverjaw Minnows
2 Bluefin Killifish
2 Swamp Darters
Sand Substrate
Sponge Filter for Filtration
Rock Pile for Decor
Hornwort and Water Sprite for Plants
No additional equipment
In the 30L:
6-8 Blacknose Dace
2 Greenside Darters
Another 7-8 Riffle Inhabiting Darters
Gravel Substrate
Sponge Filter for Filtration
Rock Piles and Driftwood for Decor
No Plants
Powerhead for increased flow
Option 2)
In the 20H:
4 Blacknose Dace
2 Greenside Darters
2 Rainbow Darters
Another 2-3 Riffle Inhabiting Darters
Gravel Substrate
Sponge Filter for Filtration
Rock Piles and Driftwood for Decor
No Plants
No additional equipment
In the 30L:
6 Redside Dace
6 Silverjaw Minnows
2 Bluefin Killifish
2 Swamp Darters
possibly another pair of darters
Sand Substrate
Sponge Filter for Filtration
Rock Piles for Decor
Hornwort and Water Sprite for Plants
No additional equipment
So which option would you guys do? I think they both sound good and I'm having a hard time deciding.
