35 Gallon Tank Stocking List *ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE*
- Thread starter deadmanwalking
- Start date
Thanks guys! I spoke to a guy at the LFS today (he was quite experienced) and he said that if I took out the Swordtails and the BGKF i'd be fine for a while. However, I really love the look of those BGKF and so I decided to change the stocking list to the following:
2 Angelfish, 3 Swordtails, 3 Rainbowfish, 1 Red Tailed Black Shark, 1 BGKF, 1 Butterfly Fish, 4 Glass Catfish and 2 Kissing Gourami's.
And I plan to add the fish into the tank in the following order:
1st add-in: Angelfish.
2nd add-in: Swordtails
3rd add-in: Kissing Gourami's
4th add-in: BGF and 2 rainbowfish
5th add-in: 3 Glass Catfish
6th add-in: 1 Glass Catfish, Red Rainbowfish and Red Tailed Black Shark.
Being sure to wait 3/4 days in between each add-in, and following the correct procedure while adding the fish in.
Apart from that, I am hoping this tank will do the fish for at least two years after the first add-in. And if it starts getting overcrowded before then (do you think it will? And if so, do you think it will be not overcrowded at all for at least last a year?) then I guess I will have to split up some fish.
Thanks all!!!

Yes. It will get overcrowded before a year is up. Ghost knives get big. And I'm just saying this from what loves severums said before..

That sounds much better, id still hold off on the bgk untill you have at least a 2' wide tank, with the removal of some of the other fish I think the butterfly fish would be a nice addition

Thanks for the advice!!! And I thought that - but that is really my favourite fish out of all of them, lol. I could remove another Glass Catfish also if that'd make any difference?
And Yay, Finally someone who agrees with me on the Butterfly Fish!!! Hehe. Thanks.

See to be honest, I don't actually think they grow that fast. From what I have read, the maximum they can get to is 20-25cm, which isn't really that much bigger than an angelfish if it grows to 20cm - and by the time you think about the white and black stripes on its 'tail', it takes them down again.

Let go of the ghost knife idea... U may think its just a temp home n once u get a bigger tank he can go on there but more then likely he will be stunted and he wont grow anymore.... Or he will get some sort of bend in his back.... Im not 100 percwnt sure pon the side effect of stunting a fish cause i try not to do that... But i know its no bueno.... N even the angelfish with anything else is to mucj.... I would put a breedong pair of angels on a 35 ALONE. N u wanna add more into that... Madness... This thread and tank is maddnes
