Stocking for 300G

[SuperNinja]

Hi everyone,

came back to the hobby and just put my 300g into production. I’m planning on working with the following for final stocking. Some of these will get sold but just trying to figure out what would work. Tank is 8’ x 30” deep and 24” tall. Most are juvenile now and in a 150 grow out tank. I built a huge algae scrubber that is keeping nitrates low.

2x orante bichir
4x endlicheri bichir
2x senegal bichir
2x delhezi
3x laperadi bichir
5x datnoids
3x peacock bass

maybe:
3x severums
1x platinum blood parrot
3x tinfoil barbs

please let me know what you think!

Welcome back!

The challenge with both stock list is will the Polypterus get enough food.

Overstocked in my opinion.

I'm pretty lucky my Datnoid doesn't like the pellets I feed to the Bichir. The Datnoid sucks up food fast lol.

This is true. The bass will be bottomless pits by 12-14” and the polys are way too slow to feed lol.

I think if you drop the bass from the list you should be fine.

I say drop the peacocks, drop 2 dats, and have the polys and 3 dats.

I say drop the senegals and delhezis if you want to keep the bigger ones, they likely will end up being eaten by the endlis. I say you’re heavy on the stocking.

This is true, totally looked right past that, the bass will most likely eat these guys before the bigger polys over take them as well.

So if i get rid of the peacock bass do you think i can add the severums, blood parrot, and tinfoils? Or just lose the peacock bass?
