Rekord 96 Update

[kindeke]

Ok, so it's been several months since my last post :

Currently, my rekord 96 is fully stocked I think :

5 zebra danios
6 albino corydoras
2 male dwarf gouramis ( coral blue and orange)
2 bristlenose catfish ( still tiny)
10 black neon tetras

Can I add anthing else/any suggestions


I have another question :

of my first group of albino's (6), 4 died within a few weeks of purchase, one a day. I tested the water everyday, did normal weekly 230-30% water changes, they had enough food (I think, hard to see witht he sinking wafers, they tend to eat them over te course of a day)
Any ideas why this may be?

My second batch of 4, and the remaining 2 seem to be doing well, could this be because I have more fish now to keep them company? The first ones just seemed to stay at the bottom most of the time, hardly moving, but all of them are all over the place all the time now!

Thanks

Maybe its because your changing 230% of the water

Lol joke, these are albino what? Corydoras?

At the moment I would of thought that your slightly overstocked, but if you can provide adequate water changes then I dont see why this stocking would be a problem. Can you give us test results from the water?. Also the only problem I see majorly wrong with your stocking is if you have two male BN's then there could be agression between the two.

Oh sorry just saw it is Albino Corys, and yes they LOVE to be in groups as they are shoaling fish. They are veyr shy and timid when not with their own kind.
