Stocking 125ltr

[platyman]

Hello,

I ahve recently aquired a 125ltr (27 gallon) tank, and was wonderign what I couild kleep in it. I was rather hoping for:

1 angel fish
1 RTB shark
12 neon tetras
1 platy
9 tiger barbs
5 peppered corys

Would this list be ok? Or are there any major flaws? Any help will be greatlu appreciated.

the tiger barbs will bully everyone in the tank and its way overstocked

Tiger barbs really need a species only tank mine used to pick on fish 23cm long before they had there own 125L tank.

The angel may also have a nibble and eat your neons

Platys also do well in groups of three in my opinion

the RTB is also quiet an aggressive fish and may eat the neons and platy according to google anyway



Try

10 neons
3 platies
5 cory's

ok, thanks you. I guess I will have to rethink the stoicking then. Could you give me any ideas how I might go about stocking it?

Or It would make a great species only tiger barb tank as they are great fish

yeah I liked the look of tiger barbs at my lfs, esspecially the gold ones, how many of them would be able to fit in a tank of that size?

9 would be good I kept 4 gold and 5 normal it looked fantastic.

ok thank you very much. I am certainly tempted to do species only tank.
