Can I Have

[joshjames]

so iv got my 300 litre tank (75 gallon) fully cycled and ready to add fish
i was thinking along the lines of
8 cardinal tetra
8 harlequin rasbora
8 black neon tetra
4 clown loaches
6 boesemans rainbow fish
1 blue acara
4 platys
1/2 small pleco
would i have room for a rainbow shark or is that already stocked?
please say if anything is wrong

The acara may make a snack of the cardinals when its full grown.

No nothing of rainbow sharks so cant say on that one. Otherwise looks ok.

hmm, the shark may not like the clown loaches because of their shape.

Sharks are fine with loaches imo as i have kept yoyo loaches, kuli loaches and clown loaches with my RTS Considering you provide enough hiding places and features to hide in.

Maybe it's just me but that seems to be overstocking with 4 clown loaches in a 75 gallon tank. Those fish get large. It takes them a while to get there though.

Just so you know, if you cut a pleco in half it will die.

Two reasons not to add Cardinals:

1 They'll end up as food
2 They're not really hardy enough until the tank has cycled AND matured - usually around 4/5 months after the tank has cycled.
