	12 Gallon Stock
bcwcat22 Big Fish Posts: 395 Kudos: 314 Votes: 34 Registered: 16-Jul-2005	I have a 12 gallon with sand substrate a few plants and some rocks. Bellow is a list of the fish I am hoping to stock it with any suggestions would be great! 1 Male Bolivian Ram 5 Dwarf Cory's 4 Bloodfin Tetra's Could I add more bloodfins and less cory's or could I hold a full 6 bloodfin's with the cory's??

I would think that if you kept up on water changes you could possible add another tetra or two. I'm not sure if 12 gallons gives them as much room as they would they like, but I had 6 neons and 5 cory's in my 10 gallon, and they were fine. Just be VERY good with the water changes, and monitor the water quality! HTH SAm

You must keep the water changes & be more carefull, as it's a small tank & IMO it's exactly or slightly overstocked. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
