I went to the store to pick up the new fish and I saw six Odessa barbs so I ended up buying them. Im going to do the same setup but instead of the tiger barbs i'm going to go with 10 Odessa barbs. Their color is amazing.

Alright that sounds great! Thanks for the help.

Well 64 litres is about 17 gallons and I don't know the exact dimensions of your tank or anything but depending on your filtration and how often you do water changes   you might be fully stocked with fish already.

Alright I really like that suggestion but I might bring the cories down to 7 and keep the bolivian ram. So:   2 Keyholes 10 Tiger Barbs 7 Cories 1 BN Pleco 2 Swordtails 1 Bolivian Ram   I don't need to worry about overstocking with this? Or too much tiger barb aggression?

Ok I will forget the paradise fish then. I like the idea of the south American puffer but I am restricted to what I can get at my LFS and I have never seen those before.   Would I be able to drop the rasbora school to 5 and add 5 tiger barbs or is that looking for problems?

So I have a 40 gallon breeder tank (well planted) and I am wondering what to stock it with. (I have an eheim 2213)   I have white sand as the substrate and a couple pieces of driftwood.   I know that I am going to have 2 keyhole cichlids for sure. This is what I have thought of so far:   2x...

I have specifically picked the keyholes, rainbows, and Bolivian rams because I am doing a planted cichlid tank and these are the very few fish that will work with plants. I had thought about kribs and apistos but I am not really interested. The only reason i added rainbows was because it was...

Ok well then suppose I forgot the bosemani and just did the 5 praecox. Do you think the tank would be overstocked? Any problems with this setup?   Thanks for the input

It is a 40 gallon breeder tank 36" by 18" by 17". These are dwarf rainbows though an only reach about 3 inches. I am not getting the bigger ones.

I have a 40 breeder with an eheim 2213. I have been told this stocking list would be great but it appears overstocked to me.   2x Rainbow Cichlid 2x Keyhole Cichlid 2x Bolivian Ram 6x Peppered Corys 1x Porthole Catfish 1x Green Phantom Pleco (Maybe a leopard frog instead if I can find a good...

I have a 40 gallon breeder tank an I am looked to put cichlids and live plants in it.   How well would it work if I stocked it like this:   1x Rainbow Cichlid 1x Keyhole Cichlid 6x or 8x Aristogrammas (2 each of a few different breeds) 1x Bristlenose Pleco   Im pretty sure these cichlids are ok...

So I just picked up a 40 gallon breeder tank and I am looking to stock it with cichlids. I have sand as my substrate and I am planning on growing live plants (i know this could be tough). I know very very little about cichlids so I am unsure of what I want to stock the tank with. I was wondering...

You could try a discus as a centerpiece fish, but you would have to get rid of any aggressive fish that would attack it

Ok thanks for the advice.   It turns out i might not be restricted to a 29 gallon though, and i might be getting a 45. I think that would solve the problem of the angel fish.

The angelicus boticus are in a similar boat as the otocinclus in regards to the red tailed shark. The sharks are tough to find tank mates for. If you stick to few fish like you have, you probably wont have any problems with the fish you have chosen, but you never know. The general reccomendation...
