Fish Calculator

they have a virtual tank builder on there, but it seems to allow me a lot of fish for my 65litre tank, anyone else used it? Do you think it allows you overstock. Any comments appreciated. Even if I put my filter as internal - when it is built into the hood, it still lets me have a lot more fish than I thought I could have!!!!

Last time I checked it, it stocked at a level about five times what I would be comfortable with. Try asking it what fish you can keep in a spagetti jar B)

I use it, but only for information like which fish can live together and info on the fish themselves. I try to stock at around 1/3 what that tells you, although, its not uniform... seems it allows you more fish the smaller space you have. It is debateable though, because it states that it uses a method to do with the bioload, rather than the inch-per-gallon type rule, so maybe it isn't as far out as some people think.

i use about half as the absoulte maximum for stocking levels

Not just their bioload that worries me; I've tested a number of combos on there- fish that I know- and it seems to me that they'd get very little swimming space.

Everytime I've played around with it, the calc has grossly overstocked the tanks, however the compatability/information is always nice.

I tried it, it will not let you put anything at all in with German blue ram.
