Is your tank overstocked, are you setting up a tank, check this out everybody!

Thanks!

Here's the pic from the site. I substituted a Lima Shovelnose Catfish for my Tigrinus Catfish.

I'm running a 50g wet-dry/sump, and a 30gpd drip system. I test bi-weekly and my parameters are perfect. Granted, these are all babies or juveniles, and this is a growout tank for them.

Aha it was a grow out tank - didn't realize that.

Kudos for this endeavor!! Many setups will violate a number of things. (I have 8) but a decent way of looking at a tank.

Thanks. Don't forget to let me know if you notice any warnings that are not applicable. I'd like this tool to become more than decent.

Now that the application can handle minimum shoaling number for similar (but not necessarily the same scientific names) species, please forward any similar species that will actually shoal together. There are probably quite a few different corydoras species that will shoal in this manner.

That's SICK!!
"Warning: Leopard Gourami requires a tank with more height.

Although I think the Ctenopoma will be fine

Haha. This is what you get with a Gator Gar in a 10 with an FX5...if the FX5 wasn't bigger than the tank
Warning: Alligator Gar is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 60 inches.

Recommended temperature range: 68 - 78.8 F. [SIZE=-1][Display in Celsius][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6 - 8.

Warning: You should add more aquarium filtration capacity.

Your tank is seriously overstocked. Unless this setup is temporary, you should consider a larger tank.

I hope the body of that Gar is really flexible...

Genius. I'm guessing it's assumed maximum size for all the fish i listed to go in the 1000gal which ended up with it only being suitable for tsn, common pleco, and adonis pleco, and silver aro despite none of the fish being anywhere near their potential sizes yet. 1130% stocked, weekly w/c of 75% and just 62% filtration! I'm not sure if substituting for closest match fish helped! Good job i can eventually build bigger.

Probably would work better on smaller fish and setups than my warped and twisted mind.

Yes it only works on full sized fishes at the moment. I have received many requests to support juvenile sized species as well and I am thinking about it. It will not be simple to do this plus it will probably require lots of trial and error work.

Which species am I missing?

Probably would work better on smaller fish and setups than my warped and twisted mind.

I am trying to get it to work well for larger species as well. I mainly focused on tuning larger species during the past month or so - I think it is getting there. For smaller species, I have not heard any complaints for a while now.
