Stocking Help Please

[QuotheRaven]

Now this is in preparation for when my tank is fully settled the stocking will be most likely.

1 Rendahls catfish the largest it gets IN THE WILD is 35 cm but more likely 12-20cm in Home aquarium.
1 Golden Severum
2 Angelfish
2 Tiger barbs (non nippy and were a gift I will not be buying more due to the risk of aggressive introductions)
1 Anostomus Anostomus
6 Harliquin Rasboras
4 Kuhlii Loaches
2 Albino Cories
2 Bronze Cories
1 Peppered Cory
1 Spiny eel
Thats the projected stock once my tanks settled from the disease outbreak if there are no deaths from now until then.

Now I am hoping to add some fish to the tank heres some im interested in...

4 Spotted Headstanders
1 African Butterfly perhaps 2
1 Spiny Eel

they are ones that I am really considering any suggestions yay or nay for those fish aswell as any suggestions to add to my tank...???

anyone???

Are the tigers small. They get nippy as they get older. When there are less than 5 they tend to be nippy to other fish. When kept in a group they keep the nipping to their own kind. If you want to find out compatibility go to www.thinkfish.co.uk

You can make an online tank with all your fish. It will tell you any conflicts, problems, ideal temp for the tank as a whole. etc etc

2 Albino Cories
2 Bronze Cories
1 Peppered Cory

I think I'd go for 6 off of one particular type as they would be happier. I'd go for say 6x Julii or TriLin Cories?

If you go for the ABF then the tiger barbs will probably have a go at it.

I agree with Underwurlde, 6 of the same kind will probably be better.

Bronze and albino are the same but a variation the peppered is the last survivor of a group of them I had and he hangs with the cories...The tiger barbs are fully grown and do not attack any other fish in any of my tanks other than themselves and even then they aren't that bad...The Tiger barbs are always brought up when I talk about my stocking my barbs were a gift from my sister and I never asked for them however they are the most placid barbs i've ever seen...

The rasboras might end up as food and I think you're pushing it stock wise in a big way adding any more fish to that first list.

Okie Dokie well the rasbora's will most likely be moved off to my 32 gallon which currently houses the 5 cories spiny eel 31 krib fry and krib mother and the 4 kuhlii's....the barbs will also most likely be moved to the 32 gallon which Im thinking of doing a heavily planted tank...

african butterfly fishes are awsome, there hardy and amazingly cute! I fell in love with mine as soon as I saw it at the pet store, you should definatly get one.
no tank is complete without a moonlight gourami! they grow up to 9 inches there super active and harmless and pritty
