Endler Stocking.

[Sibelius]

I've got a heavily planted, well maintained PFK nano, currently holding 2 shrimp and an oto. I'm going to add 4 C. Habrosus, and 2 more otos, after which, how many Endlers can I have? My water changes are 25% twice a week. I thought about 6? More, less? what's your opinion?

Edit: for those that don't know: it's a cubic foot, which is about 5 gallons. See journal in my sig.

i would say 5 gallons is too small for endlers, no matter how many.personally i wouldnt have added the otos either and stuck with just shrimp. if it was my tank i would keep it as it is.add no more fish, no putting you down or anything, im just saying what i think.personally a 5 gallon is only useful for either 1 betta,shrimp group or young fry.

Thanks for your response. I understand that you have my best interests in mind. Having seen George Farmers succesful Microrasboras in 2.4 gallons, I feel that adding some fish shall not be a problem. I will review my stocking ideas, and thankyou for your comment.

i agree with smaller fish such as Microrasboras in 5 gallons, personaly i think they would be fine.here are some more possabilities for your 5 gallon: http/www.franksaquarium.com/nanofish.htm
