Overstocked?

[h_ceri]

Was at my LFS today and picked up a tetra aquarart leaflet and saw their stocking suggestions for a 60litre tank - does it not sounds excessive to you? Here's the suggestions in full (it's on page four of the PDF)

Compared to this my tank seems empty!

Compared to this my tank seems empty!

60 litre about 15 gallons??

1 Pair angelfish
1 Pair gourami
School neon tetras
School phantom tetras
2 ram cichlids
2 suckermouth catfish
group of corydora catfish

This is off the top of my head now though i'm on a different computer and the link won't load!

Just seemed a bit overstocked when i read it first of all!

If you read some of the other reccomendations, it seems as if its poor wording in the translation from German to English. Id say its trying to suggest fish that are suitable for that particular tank.

Eg

Later on it suggests Pelvicachromis with Malawis...where i think it means "or" not "and"

I hope!

I'd hope so too! As the guide and kit is set up for beginners it's hardly teaching good stocking as it's written!
