Stocking Ideas

[William Hlas]

I'm getting an Aqueon 15 column deluxe aquarium kit at petsmart in a couple days and I am wondering if this is a good stocking idea
5 albino cory catfish

9 jumbo neon tetras

1 black molly

1 red wag platy

1 gold-twinned barred platy

Also the size of the tank is about 13.25 x 13.65 x 25.5(LxWxH)

its not big enough for plastic fish let alone live ones.

You might be ok with a single Betta in there and some micro rasbora/shrimp but as for the fish you listed, none of them are suitable.

I would save your money and buy a decent tank.

Stocking levels in tanks are largely determined by surface area, so you could keep less fish in that than a 'normal' shaped tank of the same capacity.

Fish need more length than height, and there's definitely not enough floor space for any cories.

I'd spend your money on something else, tbh, if you really want to keep fish.

You could put shrimp in there...


No fish. Spend your money elsewhere.

I agree. Buy a normal shaped tank. The more surface area the better. This tank has a lot of wasted depth.

Alright thanks everyone and now I decided to get a 20 gallon "normal size" tank here is the picture of what it looks like in size way
the size is 24 x 12 x 20
