stocking

Okay so, I recently got a 15G. It's 55cm by 30cm by 35. What I've already planned is that I'll be having fine gravel on the bottom and it's going to be heavily planted, with some wood too, I'll be using ferts and root tabs as well. The water parameters generally are: 10-14 dGH (Hard to...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have a 125g tank that currently houses a jack Jack Dempsey. I would like to stock it with other cichlids, I tried adding my firemouth wich is the same size as the JD but they fought too much so I removed him. I've decided to add multiple cichlids at once to reduce...

Hi, MFK! It's been a while since I've been on this site, but I think it's time for a comeback! Here's my predicament: I'm gonna adjust my tank stock. My dreams of keeping potential monster fish in my 60g are gone. I'm planning to make my stock much more practical. In order to do so, I'm going...

I am stocking my 55 gallon finally after letting it cycle for a few months, I want a few angelfish and a larger school (8-10) of Serpae Tetras. I want 1-2 other fish that are big for a center piece, I’ve been told kissing gouramis wouldnt work. Does anyone know of a larger fish I could keep with...

I am very tempted to get a 125 gallon tank but can only think of 1 fish I would really want to put in it, Lima shovelnose. I really want to keep some bichirs and was wondering what species would work in the tank. Also any other catfish I could consider? Thanks in advance :) Also I have a brand...

I have a 75 gallon fish tank that I will be cycling with a fluval 406 and a aquaclear 110. I currently have a rainbow shark, blood parrot cichlid, and two convict cichlids who are both females in a 37 gallon. Could I add a shoal of Buenos Aires and maybe one or two electric blue acara to the 75...

Anyone have ideas for friendly community fish to put in a 50 gallon tank (preferably coral reef)? Some of you are going to hate me for this but I don't like clownfish that much because they are soo common and i'm going for a larger variety of fish. Thank you!

One of my buddies has a t-bar pair in a 40 B and I love the fish. ATM the only empty tank I have is a 60 gallon that has been at my parents for a while. I wanted to know if a pair or single fish can go in the 60 with any tankmates. I kinda wanted to have them in a CA community if that could...

Alright so after getting your help with stocking my 90 gallon (for those interested: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/stocking-advice-for-a-350l-90g-tank-120cm×50cm×66cm-l×w×h.707973/) I now finally came around to try and get some pictures of my new pets :) Current stocking is...

In the very far distant future ( When I have saved enough money to buy this monster tank) I plan on having some fish! My main focus on this tank is the Fire Eel. I've spent several weeks researching these fish and wanted to get an opinion from those more experienced than myself. Do you think...

Hi all I'm new to the forum and wanted to ask you guys what your stocking suggestion for the following idea is: I'd like to have some leopard bushfish (5/6) with some bichirs. In particular, the bichirs I thought would work in a 90g are the senegals and the delhezi. Does that work and if so...

Hello guys, I started a new tank 2 days ago but I got no stocking. Does anyone have an idea? I was thinking about salamanders. The tank is 80cmx60x40(I thought, havent measured it yet.) The water is around 10cm high.

Hey guys I’m looking for ideas on stocking my 125 gallon that is currently cycling. I currently am housing a juvenile jack Dempsey a juvenile jaguar a juvenile tiger Oscar and juvenile Texas cichlid in my grow out tank. am I pretty much maxed out already? Thanks

Hey I just moved to a new house down in Florida and i love right on the intercostals. I am getting an above ground pool that is 1,800 gallons(https://www.amazon.com/Bestway-Steel-Rectangular-Ground-Swimming/dp/B079F6CDM7?keywords=rectangle+pool&qid=1535845757&sr=8-4&ref=mp_s_a_1_4) I could...

i don't know if anyone has posted any of these before (couldn't find any), but if you could have an aquarium (any size as long as it's not unheard of), what would you do with it??? I would get a kelp forest and put grouper, Giribaldi, and other large Californian fish in it! (sorry if someone...

I have a 150 gallon tank with two turtles (who have not hurt any fish i have put in there, from goldfish to cichlids), and a pleco. I wanted to know what medium- large fish i could put in there. The turtles are harmless, so any ideas?

in a month I'm going to get a 150 gallon tank, as an upgrade for my turtles and fish. i have two turtles, both are very slow and have been compatible with any fish i have ever put in the tank (including cichlids). In the 150 ill have: 2 turtles 1 pleco and three 8 inch goldfish i want to know if...

I saw this youtube video today, and thought with the exception of the geos/satanoperca it was a pretty good list.Not sure about some of the compatibility either, my experience with african butterfly fish is that they are fairly territorial so 4 or 5 may not be a good idea. I can't claim to be...

I was wondering if these fish could go together in a 75 gallon planted community. - Rainbowfish -congo tetras - angelfish -Denison barbs I feel like it could have its issues when it comes to feeding time due to how slow angels are. Suggestions?

Hi all, I'm going to be trading a friend for a smaller tank soon and would like some stocking suggestions and such. I'll be trading one of my 60 gallons for a 45 gallon. The tank residents are two silver dollars and a red zebra cichlid. I already know the silvers need to go and mbunas...
