My Current Stocking List

[Blondielovesfish]

Hi,
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and (with the help of members on here) I have come up with this stock list for a 160L tank.
8 neon tetras
6 pristella tetras
1 bristlenose pleco
1 dwarf gourami
2 keyhole cichlids
If you want to see the tank heres a link to it. http/www.hollywoodfishfarm.co.nz/detail/view/blue-planet-atlantis-hpled/m/1015/
I'm open to opinions on this as I realise it will be a bit overstocked I'm just not sure what I want to cut so your help would be greatly appreciated!
Also if you could tell me if they all are compatible that would be helpful!
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thank you for any help offered!

I think it looks like a great stocking plan. Be sure to do regular water changes as it will be a heavily stocked tank.

You can have around 42 inches of fish in that tank. Numbers wise you are ok but I wouldn't keep Keyholes with any small tetras. The Keyholes will grow to around 5 inches so anything mouthful sized will be eaten.

From what I have heard keyholes will not predate on any fish larger than a few cm so if you get your tetras first they should be absolutely fine.

Stocking levels look good to me as long as you keep up maintenance and your adequately filtered.

Yeah okay I will just be using the filter that comes with the tank so I hope that is a good enough one!
If I do get keyholes then I will definitely get them last! Next time I'm at the LFS I'll see if they have any and see the pricing of them, if they are to expensive then I won't be able to get them as I'm spending most of my money on the tank lol! (Not that I'm complaining)
When I buy the tetras (around the end of June/start of July - the tank is currently on order and if it cycles properly then thst should be around the time i can start adding fish) I will make sure 1. They are the biggest, healthiest fish and 2. Are the first to be bought - along with the bristlenose pleco.
Thank you all for your help!
