Help On Stocking Please

[Shaun]

Hi,

With my 22g tank how many fish would i be able to have without it being overstocked? Also would the tank be too small for angel fish?

Thanks

The tank probably is too small for angelfish. As for how many other fish you can have- well, it depends on the size of the fish. With this tank you should be looking at fish that don't grow much more than 2-3 inches as adults, and do not require vast amounts of swimming space. Something like 4-5 corydoras and a school of 6-8 small tetras or rasboras and maybe a honey gourami or a couple of female platies as centrepiece fish. But that's just a general idea- of course, the combinations are endless. Just remember to check whether the fish you want are schooling fish or territorial.

OK thanks for that
