Are these stockings for my new tanks ok?

[Icedcoldmine]

55g:
- 3 honey gouramis
- 5 scarlet badis
- 2 sailfin mollies
- pair of clown killis
- 5 akysis vespa
- pair of peacock gudgeons
- 4 sparkling gouramis
- 4 female bettas
(Filtered with one big sponge filter, would I be ok adding 3 more honey gouramis?)

55g:
- 4 f8 puffers
- 2 knight gobies
- 2 sailfin mollies
(Filtered with 2 aquaclear 55 filters, what can I add to make it.... not look so barren lol....)

90g:
12 boesemani and Australian rainbow mix
(Undecided on filtration currently, what can I add?)

i think theyre pretty good. i dont know anything about puffers though and their requirements.

you can do a lot more with that 90. my rainbows cohabitate with acaras, severums, tetras, and geos.

i think you should just add everything from the first 55 in to the 90 with the rainbows.

I agree with Backfromthedead even though the Rainbows are fast Figure 8 puffer are stealth fin nippers lol.

Stocking all looks good as mentioned. For some reason, whenever i see stocking advice threads i always think wow. To me just about all these tanks look under stocked. But i like to heavily overstock all my tanks and do heavy maintenance on them. Not everyone follows the hobby like myself though lol.

The puffers should be fine with the other fish although its not guaranteed. Figure 8 puffers are some of the most chilled but it has been known for them to go all psycho as they mature. Should be fine in a 55g tank though, lots of room.

I agree with Backfromthedead . I think 55g #1 has a lot of fish that could potentially kill each other. Nothing too dangerous, but badis, bettas, killies, gouramiis, gudgeons and mollies are all capable of aggression. If you where going to keep any two or three in a 10g, or even a 20g, I'd say you where in for a bloodbath. The bigger tank will bring the odds over to your side and the rainbows will be a good distraction from combat. I might worry about a big boesmanni eating a badis or killie, though.
BTW "honey gourami" is a just a line bred color variant of "dwarf gourami", Trichogaster lalius. Great fish, but you'll never be able to get a female.
I know nothing about knight gobies, but I know people who have successfully kept sailfins with f8s. (I posted a video about it on a different thread you made.)

My LFS only has female honey gourami s lol. Here's the 2 55s on the double stand and the 90g with rainbows!
