[jfikri]

hai there, i'm new here & i've been working on my 12 gallon tank setup. now i think i have a stable system, can any of you guys expert give some tips or correction on the system?

fish: 4: mahseer, 2: clown loach, 1, albino cory & 1: julii cory

Filter: 1: 5L Canister Filter & 1: overtop 2 stage DIY filter

Pump: 1: 80L/Hour & 1: 5L/Hour

As far as I can see the only problem you have is the loaches they get to 12inches takes a long time though. And they do best in schools 3+.

A 2.5' 12 gallon tank? What are the other two dimensions?

The cories are great in there, but mahseers get pretty big (about as big as koi, depending on the species), and clown loaches can also reach 12"+, although it takes about a decade for that to happen. And they like being a groups, the bigger the better.

Never knew mashseers got that big! Might have to look into one now lol

i have a bigger tank waiting for them, 12 feet tank but it has a crack on the bottom, its an old tank that i have from my dads..

those mahseer are wild one, i fish for them, here they can grow quite big.. anyway, does the filteration system ok for the tank??

 

[Juxtaroberto]

Yes, at the fishes' current size, the filtration is fine.
