Stocking

[New Boy]

The fish I have are in my signature, all are young and fairly small at the mo. I change 20% of the water fortnightly and have an internal juwel filter (1,000 lph) and a fluval 304 (1,000 lph) on a 300 ltr tank (80 us gallons).....could I add some more fish....I was thinking of;

2 madagascan rainbow
2 Bolivian rams or 2 keyhole cichlids (can't decide which)

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Andy

Anyone think I'll be ok?

Sorry, not ignoring you..............just don't know the answer.......only a relative noob myself.......


80g.........what are the dimensions of that tank then that sounds BIG....?

just follow the general rule of thumb(1" per gallon) rule and do the maths on all your fish in the tank. You don't necesarily have to abide in this rule. I would add those fish as long as they have room to swim and live comfortably and if your stocking heavily i would suggest doing water changes atleast once a week...

I'd agree that you need some middle/top dwelling fish. Golden wonder panchax are a great fish btw. I notice you live in London.......the water here is not great for rams.....I have tried to keep rams......all but one died after less than two months(with the exception of one-that died after 6 months)
I'd suggest great thought before going with rams where you live!! HTH.
