I have a 33 gal community tank (36" x 12" footprint), and I'm looking for stocking comments/options.
Livestock currently includes:
PFS substrate, 2-3" deep.
Well planted, low-medium light. Fert tabs in sand, liquid ferts 1x per week.
Parameters are stable: 0/0/±10. pH 7.5, temp 80F. Haven't measured hardness.
How much room do I have, in terms of bioload, and what sort of WC amount/frequency would y'all recommend? I'm in the "play around with but don't rely solely on" aqadvisor camp. FWIW, my current stock is at 64% there taking fish size into account for GBR and SAE. If I "use only adult sizes" I'm up to 72%.
My wish list includes:
Can I add this many, safely?
I have decent lfs choices, so if y'all have alternative stocking recommendations, I'm open.
TIA!!!
Livestock currently includes:
- GBR pair (not yet full grown, but sexually mature, male is larger @ ±1.5")
- 7 rummy nose tetra
- 3 otos (they were added when I first started up the tank, before GBRs came along, and temp was lower - I know it's high for them).
- 1 SAE @ ±2" excl caudal fin
- 7 amanos, 3-4 red rili
- 1 nerite

My wish list includes:
- Bottom: 8-10 noodles (kuhlis)
- Top: 3-4 honey gourami
- Cool: Bamboo shrimp (how many?)
