Mercfh Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hi! im looking for some stocking options for my 55 gallon tank. Right now I have: 1 Bristlenose Pleco 1 Zebra Pleco 2 Raphael Catfish (1 spotted/1 striped) like 3 tetras (They've been getting slowly eaten I think by the raphaels......so smaller fish isn't a good idea) 6 Kuhli loaches A few snails Right now I have a Fluval 407 and a Aquarium Coop LARGE sponge filter (It's also planted) and a sandy substrate. The Kuhli loaches hide most of the time (as do the raphael's) so im looking for something active for the bottom and also maybe some sort of middle/top swimming fish that is HARDY and does ok in a 76-77 temp and 7.8ish pH. AqaAdvisor says im at 81% stocking (Which feels higher than it should be) but my filtration is 241%. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapexghost Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I think a pair of kribs and a bunch of tiger barbs will give you what your looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
