How Does This Stocking Sound?

[x-Twinkle-x]

Sorry, yet another stocking question!

When I have sorted out my 30gal, if its OK I will end up with this stocking -
x3 male swordtails

x5 platys

x4 BNs

x2 mollys

x3 female bettas

x2 corys

x5 danios

It will be heavily planted but I want to keep the fish simple now.
Would there be any room left if I added these?

Thanks

I would get rid of the mollys and the bettas, and bump the corys upto 6.

Lol the bettas aren't going anywhere haha! I love this lil fish!

I didnt buy the molly intentionally, the LFS guy 'mistook' him for a swordtail...

you may have a problem with the 3 male swords, and the danios and bettas but in the end every fish is different. how big are the BNs?

 

[x-Twinkle-x]

The BNs are only tiny at the moment, got them from Jim566 a lil while ago.

The fish in there atm are the 3 swordies, 3 bettas, 4 BNs, 2 corys, 3 platys, and the molly. So the new inhabitants will be 1 more molly, 2 more platys and the 5 danios. I have had no probs whatsoever with the current fishies and they have been like that for quite a long time now!

Thanks guys

Make sure you have plenty of bogwood for your BN's as this forms part of their diet. Also make sure you have plenty of hiding places for them as they may become a little territorial as they get bigger.

i agree with the others, my take

- Get atleast x2 more Cory

- Get rid of the Mollies (if you can or can bring yourself too!!! i dont blame if attached!) for me they just disease waiting to happen, sorry! Maybe i just been unlucky

- Male Swords can be a right pain, some can be real nasty, much nastier than any other livebearer i seen, but like someone else said, personality can vary

What are the dimensions?

Is it UK Gallons Star? You always say Gallons, we in England now Dear, tea and biscuits my darling? x

 

[lilfishie]

yeah just watch the BNs as they mature because if theres two males they'll fight over territory

Bry

In terms of gallons

For each US Gallon is 3.7 litres

each UK Gallon is 4.55 litres

Why they have UK and US Gallon's is beyond me, its insane

 

[afishdude]

we like our own system of measurements

 

[x-Twinkle-x]

Lol ok

 

[fry_lover]

where's these tank measurements then you little Minx

 

[x-Twinkle-x]

30 x 12 x 22

What does that work out as? Its probably not 30 at all lol!

 

[fry_lover]

i guess it 22" high, so it that the glass measurements or including the top of the lid, coz top of lid dont count
