[sufcdan]

Hi, Just posting this thread on behalf of a friend in regards as to whether he is over stocked, under stocked or just rite!

Tank size is 60 litres and he is running an external tetratec ex700. Water parameters all good and crystal clear water.

His current stock is:

5 x Harlequin Rasbora
5 x Neon Tetra
1 x Golden Chinese Algae Eater
1 x Albino Corydoras (1 died )
2 x Mollies
2 x Guppies
1 x Pleco (Tiny Tiny fella)
1 x Golden Apple Snail

Any help or advice appreciated

His current stock is:

5 x Harlequin Rasbora 7.5"
5 x Neon Tetra 5"
1 x Golden Chinese Algae Eater will get too big get rid before it munches your fish
1 x Albino Corydoras (1 died ) 2" ...you could do with 2 more tbh
2 x Mollies 5"
2 x Guppies 4"
1 x Pleco (Tiny Tiny fella) what type?
1 x Golden Apple Snail

Any help or advice appreciated

those in bold equate to 23.5" and the pleco which is most probably a common, will need IDing, if it is a common it will need re homing!

if this guy is new to fish he should have about 16" of fish but he has 23" IMO his stocking is fine bio load wise (For those with a size given), but you need to rehome the CAE and the pleco if it is a big species!

He is quite new yep but he's getting into it keeping ontop of things.

I will try to find out what the pleco is, how big do the CAE get then???

So no more fish can be added rite?

the CAE can get to 4-6 inches, but once it gets to 2 inches it will start attacking fish,

i wouldnt add anything else but the cory would benefit from a friend or 2

ok , many thanks for your help, i had no idea the CAE gets that size, shame as he is a cool little dude

i think he should Upsize his tank .

Looks good but i think he lacks a ''main'' fish. I'll tell him what iv been told
