Aquarium Stocking QuestionsUse this board for aquarium stocking questions. Do NOT follow the 1 inch per 1 gallon of aquarium water recommendation that you will often hear at the local fish store. Stock your freshwater aquarium lightly and sensibly and if you need help with stocking your tank post your questions on this aquarium stocking board.
ok... i am at a point that i can no longer function my brain right now so i need your help, once again
Ok i need help stocking a 32 gal (no longer 33 i was wrong)
anyway i used towant to get a few cichlids, just keep a pair or something like that. But i dont know anymore, i am serioudly so confused right now!!
please help? anyone have any suggestions?
well its either one or the other.... i was thinking of maybe just adding like 2 FM's, but now i dont know anyomre and am thinking about angels and tetras and lots of other things, i just dont know anymore... my mind is playing games with me
suggestions on what fish to get? Well Im partial to puffers.
you could turn it brackish and get 2 f8s.
or maybe 2-3 freshwater dwarf puffers.
if not puffers, then gourami's are another fish you could consider.
are there any other fish your fond of?
lol i fond ALLL fish but i just dont know, i need to look up some fish and stuff... yea... hahahahaha
i like puffers, but i dont think im ready for them just yet

um, ok!
Lets think...if you wanna go with a community tank, some angels would be nice, with some corys at the bottom.
theres also barbs, which can be slightly aggressive depending on the fish.
Oh the choices!
If you want a total south american biotype, which is what I was aiming for in this setup, consider changing kuhli loaches (S Asia) to a type of corydoras catfish (Peru, SA)
OMG i like that too! GBR, i ve never had any but would sure love to have them in my tank! kuhili loiaches, idk if my LFS have any but i will look into it! OMG im excited hahah i need to get myself a very powerful filter to go allong
so much fun this fish talk of ours
We've all been there in "what to stock-so many choices".
The best advice I can offer is to think about what fish you want THE MOST that would be happy in your size tank and water conditions and plan your stocking around that.

i think im gonna go with cories too, they are little wigglers arent they hahahahahah
I must add that I *love* cory cats as well! They are just the funniest little buggers!
I have 2 pandas in one 30g, 2 spotted (one adult and one juvie) in my 55g and I got 3 baby green aneus last night for the new 30g! They are just adorable and fun!
corys are a bit pricey though, they cost 5-10 bucks each at all my petstores near my,except my favorite one worlds under water, they have dwarf corys for 2 dollars each

lol wooow
i ran into a new LFS that had dwarfs for 15 pesos(1.50) a pair! and another LFS has them for 35..
psh ya right! dont do it... i dont reccomend it at ALL. I had a hard time moving here. In the US, a standard aquarium kit(10 gals) is around 44.90-50 dollars at walmartor petsmart. Here, liten to this, they are 1000-1200
so i dont reccomend it
its easier to buy everything separate here, and lets not say, our aquarium test kits suck! i had to buy 2 API test kits when iwent to canada cuz they dont have them here. The cheapest testkit ive seen is around 1500. hahaha wanna move still?
Holy cow! I guess the fish have to be cheap if the aquarium is so expensive!!!! Can you order them online at least? Wow!
I got the 3 cories all for $10 total last night, but they were selling other cories for $15-20 each!
it the same either way, the shipping is expensive too... The fish arent that cheap either... angels were i live range from 100-150 so i will buy them young(around 1 inch) for 15 each.. also their lives arent very good either.. the other day i saw 7 5" ID sharks in a 20 gal!! man i hate this kind of stuff too.
anyway back to the topic
i think im gonna go with angels, tetras and cories maybe some cardinals, or red eyed.. hmm who knows lol
