We will be picking up the 35 gallon tonight. I will probably have to cycle it since the owner didn’t really know what that meant and the filter only has the replaceable bags, no sponge for the good bacteria. (I am shopping tonight for new filters, driftwood, etc.) Now, I am trying to plan out what my son wants in the tank – and not overstocking it. This is what I have so far, listed in order of top dwelling, middle, bottom feeders:

35 gallon
Some swords and mollys from the fry – how many of each?

6 Black Widow Tetras
6 Cardinal Tetras

Possibly some dwarf chain loaches? – how many
Clown Pleco

My tank will be stocked as below:

55 gallon
3 Pearl Gourami (4”)– one male and two female
6 swords (4”)

6 dwarf Peacock Rainbow (2”)
6 Bleeding Heart Tetras (2”) – possibly, what else would work?
2 Red-eyed Tetras

10 – 12 Corys (either Skunk or Swartz) (2 ½”) – have 6 False Network now – instead of getting 6 more cories, would 6 dwarf chain loaches work?
Gold Spot Pleco
2 – Apple Snails

The small tank holds the fry now, but they will eventually go to the LFS and this will be a quarantine tank.

10 Gallon
Molly fry
Sword fry
1 Snails
Clown Pleco

Opinions and/or ideas please?
