Can I Keep 3 Goldfish In A 10 Gal?

[Jonty]

I'm joking, it's another boring stocking question! More of a general check-up really.

60l:

6 Black Phantom Tetra
5 Corys (2 Albino 3 Peppered)
4 Apple Snails

30l:
1 Betta
2 Apple Snails

25l:
7 Female Endlers

So I have some questions:

I think I'm reasonably stocked on the 60l. However, could I:
- add some kind of centrepiece fish, such as Dwarf Gourami
- Up my schools (Say 2 more corys and 2 more Black Phantoms)
- Add a school of 6 ember tetras (I think this is pushing it)

For the 25l:
- Simply, is there anything I can add?

For the 30l:
- Same as above, the betta as docile, has lived with Apple Snails, ADFs and Endlers and only flared once

And for all the tanks - can I add any khuli loaches?

Thanks, please don;t hate me for the title.

Haha, nice. Nice way to get replies, Jonty. ^^;

well, may not be such a stupid question after all, yes, you can keep 3 goldfish in a 10 gal, its true! doesnt say anything about what affect it will have on them though

6 Black Phantom Tetra
5 Corys (2 Albino 3 Peppered)
4 Apple Snails

The above is fine

30l:
1 Betta
2 Apple Snails

Fine again

25l:
7 Female Endlers

A pair of dwarf gouramis should be fine, as should upping the cories and phantom tetras, I wouldn't add the ember tetras though. the 25 litre is pushing it already, so dont add anything else.

For the 30l:
- Same as above, the betta as docile, has lived with Apple Snails, ADFs and Endlers and only flared once

And for all the tanks - can I add any khuli loaches?

you could try a group of 4 khuli loaches in the 60 litre, they put very little strain on the bioload, so they should be fine.

What Cories are you keeping? 8 might be too much depending on the breed.

 

[Truck]

I would say number 1 too, with a centre piece fish such as a gourami with it also.

 

[Jonty]

So no Khuli Loach?

BTW I'm keeping 2 Albino and 3 Peppered Corys,and would have 5 Peppered and 3 Albino - I want to breed the peppered corys

 

[Jonty]

Could I have 4-6 Khuli in the 30l with the Betta? Or even on their own?

 

[aly_starh]

Possibly 3, thought they might not have much room to swim, i decided against having Khulis in 25L for that reason.
