Man Im Rubbish At Making Stocking Decisions

[FishyWishie]

Kizno your idea is intriguing im off to do some more research on that as we speak lol Thanks to everyone replying I will be looking at all suggested ideas in some detail I think. Changing the apisto to the one you suggested is also a good idea as it then means I could put the tank at 24 deg and please all the fish wheres with the apisto required min of 25.

That puts me at 72% Just need to look at if ive covered all tank levels and maybe use another 13% to fill any hole depth wise.

Your list:

Galaxy Rasborra
Cockatoo Aspito
Bolivian Rams
And Khuli Loaches

I have all but the galaxy in my 125...they get on well so far, but the cockatoos are only little

If im honest i wouldnt go by exactly what they say. IMO you will get alot better info from people on here that have kept the fish. What about 10 hatchets for the surface?
so
4 apisto 1male 3female
pair of rams
10 Kuhlis
30 galaxy rasbora
10 hatchets


or you could go for
4 apisto 1male 3female
pair of rams
10 Kuhlis
20 galaxy rasbora
20 hatchets

If i went for something like what Kizno1 suggested I.E (n idea which does appeal having a mass of the galaxy i have to say ;p)

Assuming I wanted to stock (eventually) to about 85% are there any tank levels unrepresented with the list ? what would be a good way to utilise the 13% ? ;p

4 apisto 1male 3female
pair of rams
10 Kuhlis
30 galaxy rasbora

Theres nothing for the surface. I would go for hatchets. 10 hatchets should be fine . I would go for marble hatchets i have 6 and they look nicer than silvers IMO

You can stock fully if you complete the cycle properly it's just up to you.... I wanted longer to decide by seeing what the initial fish I got were like.

Really?

Hmm?

Wow Galaxy Rasborras seem to range in price seen them as cheap as £2.50 each and as expensive as £4.99 each

Current plan is as follows

They are expensive but if your buying 30 if its not a chain lfs you might be able to get a deal on them.
Thats stocking looks good to me. I would stock to that level and see who the all get on and once thats done you could maybe think about a few more fish to add.
