My Fish Tank

[K1ll3rB34r]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering what you all thought of my fish tank and stock levels. The tank has been running for about 6 months now without any glitches. My current setup is in a 2 foot, 91 liter tank with the following:
Aqua nova 1000 canister filter,
Bubble pump tw400.

I also have 2 plants and a good sized piece of drift wood.

My current fish stock is:

1 x Albino Sailfin Pleco
2 x Upside Down Catfish
1 x Albino Corydora
1 X Peppered Corydora
1 x Bronze Corydora
1 x Sterbi Corydora
6 x Glass Catfish
2 x Bolivian Butterfly Rams
2 x Blue Rams
3 x Leopard Danios
3 x Pearl Danios
2 x Zebra Danios
2 x Rummy-nose Tetras
4 x Angelfish
2 x Clown Loaches
2 x Male Cherry Barbs
2 x Female Cherry Barbs
2 x Rosy Barbs
2 x Dwarf Gourami
1 x Pink Kissing Gourami
4 x Harlequin Rasbora
3 x Congo Tetras

Thanks,

That's a LOT of fish for a 91 ltr. I think you're MAJORLY overstocked.

You've also got things like the tetra's which like to be in shoals and you've only got 2 of.

Personally I think, with a 91 ltr you should only have around 24" of fish....

You are massively overstocked.

I have labelled above NOT suitable for your tank either because of size, water conditions needed...

Please listen to this advise, I know it will be hard to rehome some of your fish but if you really care about them than you would let them go.

BTW, i meant 2 say that they are all juveniles and that once they get to a size that is too big for the tank then i will sell them and replace with more juveniles. i am also doing 25% water changes every week using rain water and also adding seachem stability.

It doesnt really matter because all the fish you have in there are from such diverse envorments that sooner or later, and depending on your water perimeters certain fish that need special requirements are gonna die.

ex: German blue rams need soft acidic water and glass catfish need fast currents that dwarf gourami's might not be able to handle due to their relativly weak swimming capabilities..

No more advice needed ...... please listen to the above without coming up with any excuses not to.

Having juvenile fish is no excuse for having over 45 fish in a relatively small tank. What kind of aquarium is that, constantly replacing and moving fish about?They need a stable home, not you moving them about, stressing them out.
You can either:
*Get a much larger tank and move your fish there (but still remove unsuitable fish)
*Remove the fish I mentioned on the list and have a happy little aquarium
*Carry on the way you're doing (IMO selfish)

Just being honest, if you care about the fish then do something. Why buy fish when you can't house them properly?
Sorry if I sound harsh but I'm just saying it out as it is.
