Stocking 123L and 57L

[Vass_sCo]

I currently have
6 Black Neon Tetra
8 Neon Tetra
8 Phantom Tetra
4 Pepper corrys
2 Rams
"5 mollies " rehoming tomorrow

I have a 57L that is currently cycling that I am moving the 4 female guppys I have into it and possibly the two rams unsure if ok or not.

Had enough of livebearers and want to stock tetra , corys and keep the 2 rams

What would you suggest re stocking or moving to each tank on both the 123L and 57L

I also have the 34L with around 20 to 30 fry in it atm.

I think the rams would do well in the larger tank with the Cory's and the the phantoms. The other two schools of neon tetra should be fine in the 57L. You could probably add a couple cory to the school in the 123L also and still be alright with filtration. Unsure if you mean you've got guppies you're wanting to add to the tank with tetras? According to Serious Fish. Com the requirements for neons are:
Temperature: 21 – 25 °C
pH: 4.0 – 7.5
Hardness: 18 – 215 ppm
60cm*30cm or larger aquarium. I believe that's what a 57L measures

The website mentioned is a great tool, if you're ever wanting to research species

Hey there
Tetras, Corydoras and Rams are soft and acidic water fishes.
What are your tapwater parameters ?

SeriouslyFish and FishBase are "bibles" !

There are problems here. First, the common or blue ram (if this is the species of ram, the Bolivian is different) must have warmth, 80F/27C is absolute minimum but they will be healthier a couple degrees higher. This will burn out the cories, and the neons and black neons. Phantoms will be somewhat uncomfortable so I would subject them either. A couple degrees may seem trivial, but to fish that are ectotherms this is a crucial factor in their health and life. Temperature drives the fish's metabolism, and the warmer the faster, which as I said burns out cooler-water fish, but is essential to the health of fish requiring warmth.

We do need to know the other water parameters (GH especially, and pH).
