 | Additional fish for tank |
Mychael Small Fry Posts: 8 Kudos: 4 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Aug-2006   | Hi I have a 60 litres (15 Gal if I did my mathe right) tank which have 17 cardinal tetras, 9 hengli rasbras, 4 glowlight danio, 1 pygmy cory. I am thinking of adding about 3-5 more fishes but am not sure if I have already reached the threshold value of the bioload of the tank. thinking of adding 2 more pygmy cory and 3 glowlight danios or do any one else have other recommendation?

It can be done if you have a good planted tank do at least 40%-50% weekly water changes and have good filtration olus good airation. I certainly would not buy any more fish at all. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos 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 |

| FinSandFeathersPwnsNoobs Fingerling Posts: 18 Kudos: 9 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Sep-2006 | umm i think the fish limit on the tank is alittle more than exceeded . if i were u i would try to set up another tank and put some of the fish in the newly set up tank. in the the onld tank u should keep about 8 of the tetras, 4 of the rasboras , 2 or so danios and the cory can stay . As for the Bioload its prolly maxed out and is workin at full copacity. My otheer suggestion in stead of setting up 2 small tanks , Set up 1 55gallon tank and then u can add more fish if wanted |
