	Stocking 30 gal
Ethan14 Big Fish Posts: 312 Kudos: 339 Votes: 18 Registered: 06-Jul-2005	Ok I'm changing the stocking on my community tank because I am not very happy with it right now. I was wondering if anyone thinks I should make any modifications to this list. 1 Opaline Gourami 2 Blue Rams 10 Neon Tetras 4-6 Small Cories 3 Otos 6 Rummy-Nose Tetras Maybe a couple of Kuhli Loaches Also what would be the best food/combination of foods to make sure everyone is happy and well fed in this tank Last edited by ethan14 at 18-Aug-2005 23:32

I assume the tank is 36” long, right? In that case, I would say: - 2 Rams - 6 Black Neons (I don’t have luck with my Neons, although they stay alive now) - 6 Cories - 6 Rummies And, if after a while it feels like there is some space left, add 5 Otos. Food: Standard food (flake, frozen/freeze-dried, fresh) is good for your fishies, add sinking wafers for the bottom crew. Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

The Opalines are better in a school either the Rams but not both Neons Cardinals a stronger choice and easer to keep. 4 Cories OK 3 Ottos OK Rummy-nose no stick to the Cardinals. Kuhlis forget them Even with this list you will require a good filtration system and certainly plenty of live plants. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW
