	Tank Ideas
ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I have a 32gallon currently with 5 peal danios, 2 zebra danios, and 4 blue cories. I just want some ideas of what else i could put in. I was thinking of putting in 2 more cories, 4 ottos, 6-8 cardinal tetras, 6-8 glo light tetras, and a pair of dwarf gouramies. Would this be overstocking the tank? I may move the danios out. EDIT: I now have 6 blue cories Last edited by ericm at 03-Oct-2004 13:29

If so I would say you could have the six cories, six cardinals, six glowlights, and pair of dwarf gouramis. Another option would be to have one large school of tetras instead of two smaller. Four otos might be pushing it...they can be a bit sensitive too and need a good, established supply of algae in the tank when added. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Strands of thread algae cover most of the plants in my tank and the strands are larger than the length of my hair! I purposely did not clean the back and sides of the tank for a few weeks now since I knew i would be getting ottos. How about 2 or 3 then? Edit: What about if I fed them cubumber and algae wafers?

Sometimes danios pester slow fish with long fins, etc. Just go with the stocking list you have, that looks just right. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

And I don't have any other tanks. I should see if the lfs will take them back. Last edited by ericm at 04-Oct-2004 16:40
