	Stocking Questions
ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I FINALLY have finished my stocking for my 32 gallon and I have a feq questions since i would like to change some things. I have 6 black neons, an angel, 6 cories, 5 danios, 4 ottos, and I just bought 6 baby cardinals. Does this seem to be understocked? I would like to maybe get rid of something and get a pair of golden honey gouramies. I also went into my lfs and saw that they had "Underwater Dwarf Frogs". They looked cool, but could someone give me some info on these? Thanks. EDIT: The underwater dwarf frogs were labeled as African Dwarf Frogs a week ago. Last edited by ericm at 02-Jan-2005 14:03

I don't think adding a few honey gourami's would be a problem, however, if they're big enough, some of the cardinals might become a snack. My gourami when i had him a while ago ate two of my white clouds. Needless to say, he went back to the lfs the next day

The only prob is that they are babies and no bigger than the diameter of a dime. That is why I got one of those breeding net things. My angel is a baby and i have black neons in the tank also. THe angel seems to leave them alone, but the cardinals are tiny.

You could probably add a few more fish to your schools, but that's all that I'd do. Danios are really hyperactive fish, and they might intimidate gouramis with their constant motion. Plus, some danios occasionally nip long-finned fish. Gouramis have nice long fins which are perfect targets for a playful danio. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	Well as of now, the cardinals have been seperated into one of those breeder nets. They are fairly small, but i think the angel wouldn't fit the cardinals in its mouth, but as a precaution i seperated them until they grow bigger. As for the ADFs can anyone give me any info?
