This site is funny, I didn't want to post on my current stocking in my 225g as it just showed a huge line of warnings...But I did do one for my 450g and it stilled showed a bunch of warnings lol.


This test was with 3 silver aros, 2 Pbass, 3 Siamese Tiger Pulcher, and a RTC and this is what I got.


Warning: Peacock Bass Ocellaris is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 25 inches.
Warning: Red Tailed Catfish is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 60 inches.
Warning: Red Tailed Catfish requires a tank with more height.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 546% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Datnioides pulcher, Phractocephalus hemioliopterus) or get a larger aquarium tank.

Recommended temperature range: 24 - 27 C.
Recommended pH range: 6.5 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 15 dH.

You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 135%.
Recommended water change schedule: 62% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 38% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 159%. </B>
What are the tank dimensions for your tank?

Mine had too many warnings to list, guess I like aggressive large fish living together.
Said everyone will eat everyone.

Ha ha
Can you please post what you have as well? It could be useful for me to improve the data in DB...

Tank dimension would also be helpful.

Thanks.

Mine is 72 X 24 X 29 ", I did have it as a reef tank but decided to go fresh when i had to move tank to another room, was that a job, needed room for dining area. So now my tank is a see thru divider between my family and breakfast nook. I have 1- 2' silver arowana, 1- 12" jardini, 1- 12" Banded Leporinus, 1- 10" walking cat, 1- 11" lace cat, 2- 6" black belt silver dollars, 3- 4" red hooked silver dollars, 1- 3" jack dempsey, 1- 12" red albino oscar, 1- 6" blue phantom pleco, 1- 8" watermelon pleco. The filtration is the wet/dry with a little giant 4-mdqx-sc mag drive pump, cascade 1500, fx-5. I use r/o water when doing water changes, i add ro right to it before pumping into tanks. I have ph 6.4, temp is at 82, I do not have a heater, it is from pumps only.

Try removing some of (Parachromis managuensis, Rocio octofasciatum, Amphilophus labiatus, Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus, Erpetoichthys calabaricus, Hemichromis bimaculatus, Pterygoplichthys pardalis) or get a larger aquarium tank.

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

Would you say, once they are fully grown up, this stocking level is under or overstocked?

The app used to report stocking % that was too low for these larger species so I tuned it up quite a bit. I may have over-done it... :D

Thanks for the details.

Once again, if you assume these species are fully grown up, would you say the overall stock level is under or overstocked?
