Hi I was looking for opions on the stocking of my tank
It is a 105 Gal planted.
Here is my stocking:
3 Boosmani Rainbows
2 Wonga Creek Rainbows
1 Nigrans Rainbow
1 Misc Rainbow (maybe a crimson spot)

6 Rummynose Tetras
1 Neon Tetra
5 Cardinal Tetras
5 Congo Tetras
1 Black Neon Tetra

1 RTBS

5 Panda Cory's
2 Bristlenose

1 Guppy
1 Sailfon Molly

1 Betta
2 Dwarf Gouramis

4 Blue Rams

The only aggression is between the Rams.

My thoughts are increasing the Boosemani + Wonga Rainbows to 5 per school, maybe move the guppy, molly and a pair of rams out of the tank.

I would like to up the rummies/cards/pandas to 10 each but do realise that I'm already probably overstocked.

Your Thoughts?

sorry I forgot to add, I don't really want to put any more neons/black neons in. ATM the neon seems content with the cardinals.

Thanks

I would not up the rainbows you already have, but add some additional species of ranbows to compliment those you currently have. You have plenty of room in that tank.

sounds like a sweet tank but may i suggest some floating plants as the betta most likely wont apprecaite the amount of current needed for such a tank

I second the floating plants, or remove the betta to his own tank .
More corys...best would be to increase the school you have to 10+ but you could add another species if you have to have the variety.

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an bacon and egg breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'."

Ok looks like I'll do the card/rummies/cories to 10 each

Unfortunatly there is not much variety in Rainbows stocked at the LFS's in my town, what I have is basically all they stock, though I may ask about special orders.

As for the floating plants, would the leaves on my banana plant be sufficiant?

Thanks
