I had this in a 190L...


Bolivian Rams x2
Keyhole Cichlids x2
Angel Fish x2
Honduran Red Point x2

Will that cause me problems or make me overstocked heavily?
 
According to 1 U.S. gallon per inch:

2x Bolivian Rams = 7 gallons
2x Keyhole Cichlids = 12 gallons
2x Angel Fish = 8 gallons
2x Honduran Red Point = 8 gallons

Total: 35 gallons which is 132 litres.

However, this rule doesn't always apply, since other factors including the filtration, fish size (width/height).

But I've read some websites that said yours should be alright! I'm not a veteran, but I'm speaking from reading some website resources!

Have fun!
 
Should be ok for room, got some caves and hiding places etc. Just need to make sure they wont be any bullys in there.

Would also like a group of schooling fish (Cardinals or Harlequins) ...?

Anyone else have any input?? :good:
 
The problem is if you get anymore than a pair. Also bolivians are slightly bigger than 3.5inches. And angels bigger than 4inches each
 
If I was having that stocking I would go for just males, so no breeding madness would be going on in the tank.

Would be 2 males of each, would they be ok? I already have the rams, keyholes and angels in the tank now all get on fine just one angle likes to have a little go at the other (no damage caused though) doesnt happen much, during feeding mainly.
 
A all male tank doesnt sound too peaceful hehe, but if they are fine ok. You getting them from Minnnt Schottay?
 
I will be getting the HRPs from mint yes mate. You think I should have females? Would it not cause madness if they tried to breed though?

Think a school of cardinals or something would go too?

Cheers :good:
 
You have had Cardinals and Harlequins before and you killed them off, why do it again? :lol:

Rosy tetra's x 10 :D
 
Something a bit bigger may be appropriate, rummynose?
 
Lol, you think they will fight? I'll try get a group of rummys to finish it off then. Just hope there aint a lot of fighting going on having to re-home things! :lol:
