Tank is running! (pics included)

The 160 litre is finally running with good amount of stock as follows:
8 Norman Lamp Eyes
4 Peacock Gobies
2 Pearl Gouramis
5 Male Guppies
6 Glass Catfish
1 Black Lace Angelfish
Here is the tank planted up (thanks Daz!!!!) they are perfect and just need them to grow in.

Was worried about the glass catfish but since the plants went in and there are 6 they seem much much better!
Planning on some sort of cories, perhaps an apisto pair and a shoal of tetras (but lets not get ahead of ourselves )

looks really good
but the angle or the guppys wil have to go because once the angles get a little bigerthey will see the guppys as food

Yeah we thought as much, so will probably rehouse the guppies to my sisters tank. Hers is bigger than mine and she recently lost the males (they had white spot problem or somesuch), they think it is cleared but when Im certain it has will probably move the gups.

Thanks very much again for help on stocking What do you (anyone ) reckon I am with stocking levels? We wont be adding more as the latest batch gone on but we are unsure how much we can actually have (and we dont want to overstock badly)

once the guppys have gone i think if you got something that is a bottom dweller that would be about the max so a trio of apisto or a pair of bns or 8 corys
how many lph is the fillter?

Brillo, um not sure on that let me just have a gander..

Fluval 4 plus for tanks up to 215 litres. Does 1000 Litres per hour (hope that is what you are after!) Lol

yh i think with what i recommended you would be fully stocked then because thats only 6X turnover

your tank looks great lilacamy
you have done a great job there
think you are probably to your limit
but would be better if knew how big tank was
but looks fine to me,
i never had any problems with my angel and my guppies
it was gourami`s she picked on so maybe you will be fine there too,
sometimes i think its luck of the draw some are ok some are not
so hope you are as that looks great [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

the tanks 160l it says at the stert of the topic.
and are your angles fully grown?

The angel is iddy biddy, about 1.5-2 inches I would say

angel looks Fab! :D
Good job on the tank, nice choice of fish

i was asking tropical girl lol
but you wont need to rehome the guppys for a while but once they get bigger you will.

:: Oops lol We will keep an eye on for certain! Thanks peeps for all the support xx

What I would ask was would another smaller internal be beneficial to the residents I have now to help with water surface agitation?

yh another fillter would be fine how many lph dose that do?

You could try a homemade sponge filter or even a power head.

I havent bought one yet but would have a choice of any of the fluval plus'
If I wanted to be really over the top could go for another 4 plus but this may be a bit cumbersome in the tank and powerful?

you want about a 10 time turn over so a fillter that dose 600lph will be fine :D

Right so looking at the stats a 3 plus at 700 litres should do the job. Would this be just for my present stocking and better for them?

if you got this you could get the fish i recommended and 6 bigger tetras to replase the guppys

Ah brill, will invest and start seeding/running fairly soon then, proably have it running opposite end of tank to keep nice even distribution. Thanks for the low down

yh it would be best at the other end and if you want a bit more movement you could alwasys get a powerhead but you dont need one. glad i could help :D
