My New Community Stalk Idea

[Talz]

Ok so ive been thinking of changeing some things around in my 77 gal tank for awile now and this is sort of the idea ive come up with and I want some opinions on weather you think this would work or not. Feel free to add any new suggestions to.

The ones I really want to use are:
20-40 Cardinal Tetra's
6-8 Bosemani Rainbows
6-8 Red Wag Platies
6-8 Glass Catfish
6 Clown Loach
3 Weather Loach
3 Horse Face Loach
4-6 Silver Dollar
1 Albino Rainbow Shark

I know this is probably WAY overstocked but these are just the general Ideas I want to work around, what do you think?

 

[Talz]

I should mention that the ones im sceptical of are the rainbows and glass cats beaing together, will the glass cats be harassed?

 

[jayjay]

the clown loaches will get to big for that tank......

a think glass cat's may like a bit of saltin the water but i'm not sure on that, also all mine when i had them did was sit in the bubbles lol.

your right the tank would be WAY overstocked aswel, you can use the 1 inch per g rule with small fish eg. tetra, 2inch cardinals, 40 of thats 80inches lol in a 77g.....


you need to cut down the numbers really and cut out a few species:
i would go with -
15 cardinals
6 rainbows
3 Weather Loach
3 Horse Face Loach
6 Silver Dollar
1 Albino Rainbow Shark

and i'm not sure how stocked that is either, i think it may still be over the 'limit'.

The silver dollars i belive would also benefit from a tad of salt in their watyer and they would get very big in a tank that size! id cut out the silver dollars and the tetras.. nice tank then

What about... 20 cardinals? and ditch the silver dollars and other loach types?

 

[Talz]

Could I get away with it if I swaped the clowns for cories?

 

[jayjay]

20 cardinals
6 rainbows
1 Albino Rainbow Shark

20 Cardinal Tetra's
