Hi everyone.
Starting to think about what fish I can keep in my new tank when it has finally finished cycling.
My tank is 64l (approx 14 UK gallons, 17 US gallons) running an Interpet CF2 filter.
I don't want to overstock but all the fish I like seem to prefer living in groups so trying to balance everything out. My LFS has assigned a points tally to all of the fish it stocks to help stop people overstocking. Based on their points I have come up with this list (my tank can take 32 points worth of fish apparently). Just wanted to run it through here in case there is something I have missed (quite likely)
1 male betta (3 points)
8 neon tetras (1 point each)
6 rummynose tetras (2 points each)
8 endler guppies (1 point each)
Cherry Red Shrimp (0 points each)
I make that 31 out of 32 points.
Don't worry I won't be adding them all at once.
Thoughts anyone?
PS. I know that the betta may eat any baby shrimp but I am not setting up as a breeder so if it happens, it happens.
