Im getting my new aquarium tomorrow (81x36x50cm) which works out at about 32uk gallons, filtration wil be done by the juwel internal filter and i might buy a tetra tec ex600 if i have enough money. Its going to be cycled with mature media (no cycle then really).

Does this stocking sound ok?

6 ottos
6 cory cats (probs panda)
8 rummy nose tetra
6 harlequin rasboras
15-20 cardinal tetras
1 albino rainbow shark

Please leave comments

cheers
 
You are not adding them all at once are you.
Sharks not really meant to keep small fish with then.
You cant keep that many cardinals all you will be getting overstocked.

Sharks really need 40 gallons, I would rethink the shark as they can be more trouble than there worth.

It sounds overstocked to me, I would leave the shark as previously mentioned especially as they are territorial and will stress out your cardinals. Then I would choose between either the shoal of harlequins or the shoal of rummy nose, not both. Then it will be great.
 
that or if u are a big fan of the shark leave something else out. I think a single shark would be good in that size if theres a lot of hiding spots, but with those fish, its prolly a risk not worth taking. Ultimately its upto u, but maybe either drop the shark or keep it and change other fish aorund.

gdluck and have fun deciding:p
