Stocking

by **kizno1** on Tue May 25, 2010 4:53 pm

Im thinking about restocking my 30G because the angels keep fighting and im going to stock my apistos tank now there in a 21G
the 30G has a flurval 404 which does 1300LPH
the stocking im thinking is
3 bn 1m 2f
4 upside down catfish
1 banjo
2 whiptails or plecs or hoplo
trio of apisto
4 butterfly fish or 8 hatchets
i know theres alot of bottom dwellers but there are loads of caves and wood

the 21G has a flurval 3+ which does 700LPH but i might add another small filter or a external
the stocking
4 hatches
2 killis
3 apisto
6 pygmy corys
4 panda corys
2 starlight bns, clown pelcs or chocolate zebra plecs

how does that look?

I like the sound of those. You have great filtration too. I love the butterfly fish, wish I could have some but think they'd get beaten up

Yh i like them to. The only thing that im worried about is the apisto nipping there long fins that why i might go for hachets

I've got 4 hatchets in the 21g now because I swaped featherfin cat for them at my lfs

Hatchets have the strangest wee faces head on. Smile

Hatchets are cute, I love the marbled ones

by **kizno1** on Sat Jun 05, 2010 1:06 pm

ive got the marbled ones. i only have 3 left now one died but im trying to get 3 more my lfs sold all the ones they had in.

by **kizno1** on Mon Jun 07, 2010 5:12 pm

Ive changed my mind a little i think i might go for something like this
21G
6 pygmy corys
5 peppered corys
4 panda corys
3 apisto 1m 2f
3 killis
6 tetra
6 hatchets

and in the 30g
3 upside down catfish
4 BNs 1m 3f
1 banjo
8 glowlight tetra
8 rasbora
2 butterfly fish

the only problem i can see is im not sure if the butterflys would eat the tatra and rasbora. if i dont get the butterfly fish then i might swapp them for 2 more banjos.

by **kizno1** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:44 pm

might change it slightly to
30g
3 upside down catfish
3 BNs 1m 2f
2 or 3 gold marble bns 1m 1 or 2 f
3 banjo
8 glowlight tetra
8 rasbora

im going to leave out the butterfly fish becasue im worred they will eat the tetra, rasbora and any fry.

by **silverrabbit** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:25 pm

They are quite predatory aren't they. Shame as they're beautiful

by **kizno1** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:31 pm

Yh i really like them but dont want to risk it because they have massive mouths hen they open them and i want to keep some of the bn fry with the parent.

by **kizno1** on Wed Jun 09, 2010 6:11 pm

Ive took the angels back and moved all the corys from the 30G to the 21G. and im going to go down tomorrow and see if my lfs can order me in albino longfins and gold marble bns. Ive also got some slate and im going to make a slate and a stone cave for the bns when i can get a silicone gun ours broke. I shoud be albe to make it tomorrow at work experiance.

Changed my mind again how does this stocking look
6 pygmy corys
3 apisto 1m 2f
3 killis
6 tetra
6 hatchets
A pair of Ancistrus claro

and in the 30g
3 upside down catfish
4 BNs 1m 2f
1 banjo
6 glowlight tetra
6 rasbora
6 panda cory
3 or 4 laetacara curviceps

by **kizno1** on Sat Jun 19, 2010 5:05 pm

I might go for a pair of Tbar Cichlid/Cichlasoma sajica or Honduran Red Point cichlids/Cryptoheros sp over the laetacara curvicep

by **kizno1** on Sat Jun 26, 2010 9:33 pm

had another change of mind

21G
6 pygmy corys
5 peppered corys
2 apisto 1m 1f
3 killis
6 tetra
6 hatchets

and in the 30g
3 upside down catfish
3 BNs 1m 2f
+BN fry
1 banjo
6 glowlight tetra
6 rasbora

15G
3 ancistrus claro 1M 2F
+ fry

by **kizno1** on Mon Jul 05, 2010 5:31 pm

Ive changed my mind again
14g
6 pygmy corys
5 peppered corys
3 apisto 1m 2f
6 tetra
pair of ancistrus claro

and in the 30g
3 upside down catfish
3 BNs 1m 2f
1 banjo
6 glowlight tetra
6 rasbora
6 hatchets
2 kills

And im going to try and make a breeding setup for the bns with 3 small divided tanks all running of of one sump so all the ages can be split up because if i put them with the older fry they get bullied out of food and starve and if i leave them in my tnk then there an expensive meal for the banjo.
