Hi there.
I'm going to be stocking my 60l fluval tank in the next month. I know the 1 inch per gallon rule is the guideline but in a well filtered tank how much can you go over without the fish suffering.
In an ideal world I would have 10 neon tetras and 6 male guppies but I have 5 WC Minnows leftover from my disasterous coldwater attempt (the goldies are happy in my Mums pond) which the lfs said would also live in tropical. I know the minnows are schooling fish so I need to get a few more for them to be happy (they are currently residing in a small tank while I do a FL cycle on main) so I was thinking
8 Minnows
8 Neons
6 Guppies
Is this way too much
The tank is 60x35x30cm rectangle shape
I have a fluval 3+ in there which is bigger than it need and also 2 airstones.
Any advice gratefully recieved.
Could the minnows and neons school happily with 7 because that would lose 2 inches?
Many Thanks
