 | Stocking question. |
JQW   Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003   | Currently in my 15G planted there are 2 kribs and a small RTBS. Photos can be seen here: http://community.webshots.com/album/220195513dqbnZo What do you think my stock level is at the moment? The kribs had bred twice when I got them, but not since the last two month. Is it possible to add a school of something. Temperature: 30C pH: 6.5 Water change 10% per week. Well established planted environment (at least half a year and great growth). |

Gourami  Mega Fish Posts: 1205 Kudos: 477 Votes: 1 Registered: 23-Apr-2002 | I would get rid of RTBS since they get far too large for a 15 gallon. Maybe try a small school of corys. LIke 3 or 4. That would about max you out on tank space. The breeding pair of kribs needs there room for when they do breed again. |

ACIDRAIN    Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002  | you might also try some dwarf rainbows, like some from the blue eye family. These will school and would fit nicely in that tank, after you take the RTBS out. The RTBS gets rather to large for that small of a tank, and they get quite nasty with aggression when they do get larger. HTH.... There is always a bigger fish... |

| JQW Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003 | True...I need to take the RTBS out. Since I got it about two month ago, it has grown quite a lot. From being the smallest fish in my tank, now it's the big boss. I was actually thinking about a small school or cardinal tetras. Or even a pair of angels. (I know it's not a great idea!) |

| MegTheFish Banned Posts: 167 Votes: 1 Registered: 03-Aug-2004   | A school of cardials would be neat...I wouldn't get the angelfish though, I think they atleast need a 29 gallon or more. |

| devon7 Big Fish Posts: 475 Kudos: 356 Votes: 4 Registered: 31-Aug-2004 | A school of cards would be real nice i think thats a good idea  but yeah, I wouldnt even consider putting 1 angel in a tank that size... I dont know whether you have seen a lot of full grown angels (they usually only have juvies at the fish store) but they are larger than you would think. I have 2 juvies in my 29g community and I am already worrying about how they will fit in there in 6 months. |
