Holy Cr*p I never realized HOW overstocked my tank is...

Note: Sailfin Pleco needs driftwood.
Warning: Your selected species will eventually require 351% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Blood Parrot, Aequidens rivulatus, Rocio octofasciatum, Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps) or get a larger aquarium tank.

Recommended temperature range: 23 - 24 C. [SIZE=-1][Display in Farenheit][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6.5 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 10 dH.

Warning: You NEED to add more aquarium filtration capacity!!!

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 63%.
Recommended water change schedule: 41% per week.
Your aquarium stocking level is 115%

Good thing I am building a 300G tank :nilly:

Fun site, thanks

I would like to see more native catfish, sturgeon and bass. Also peacock bass would be a good addittion since most people with large tanks keep them. It gave me a whole list of warnings for my 125g growout tank. Good thing I'm building a 720g next winter.

You've got fire eels listed as needing a min size somewhere between a 55 and 75 gallon... You're talking a fish that may get in captivity in the 36" plus range. Most would say a 125 is even to small for a smaller adult of these fish. Tire Tracks also get just as large. Interesting app to play with =) not sure if I missed it.. but I'd also suggest there being a min 15% cap on water changes... 6% a week even on an understocked tank is very easy to confuse particularly newer people to the hobby. maybe having a " Bi-weekly 20% water change" to any tank stocking that falls below a 15% weekly WC suggestion?

What would be the right stock level in your opinion?
