Now it's saying that my tire track eel will outgrow my tank, when a TT eel can easily live in a tank that is less than half the size of mine. Also, it says I have 4x the recommended stock for my tank and the only fish I have that will actually outgrow my tank is my pacu. :screwy:

What exactly do you have and the tank dimension?

Thanks.

What's new for 2010 02 21 build:

- Added Galaxy Rasbora as an alias to Celestial Pearl Danio (name has recently been changed officially).
- Added Dwarf Livebearer/Least Killifish (Heterandria formosa).
- Added Hypostomus plecostomus.
- Added Yellow Convict (Cryptoheros nanoluteus).
- Added Rosy Red Minnow (Pimephales promelas).
- Added Murray River Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia fluviatilis).
- Added Sorong Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia fredericki).
- Added Goldie River Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia goldiei).
- Added Slender Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia gracilis).
- Added Lake Tebera Rainbowfish (M. herbertaxelrodi).
- Added Irian Jaya Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia irianjaya).
- Added Butterfly Goodeid as an alias to Butterfly Splitfin.
- Reduced bioload for African Dwarf Frog.
- Increased bioload for African Clawed Frog slightly.
- Bioload for Tinfoil Barb has been increased.
- Male betta and guppy combined will produce a warning that if both are male, it could be problematic. Although not always the case, enough cases have been reported that it should be raised as a concern.
- Mouth size for all knife fishes have been increased - they are bitey predators, likes to eat smaller fishes.
- AqAdvisor will no longer display water change % when no filters are selected. This is due to some confusion that some users will think this is the WC % they must do when they don't use any filters, which obvously is not the case.
- Added Sunsun series canister filters.
- Added Aqua One Aquis 550/750/1050 filters.

- Bug fixed: After entering quantity of species and press <ENTER> (instead of "Add" button), it will replace existing quantity instead of adding them if the same species exist already in the selected list. This has been fixed.

- New feature: "Advanced Search" has been implemented. Only one field has been added to test out this idea. More search fields will be added in the future.

- Total number of filters in DB has been increased to 264.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 777.

Requestor: I couldn't find enough information about toadfish (the non-marine kind) to add into AqAdvisor. If you can provide some references, please let me know.

Isn't the African Knifefish supposed to be more docile than the rest? I bought 10 Ghost Shrimp at the smallest size, and all of them are still alive and almost fully grown. They swim freely around the tank and none of my fish bother, not even the Knifefish.

I have been told that they are docile so I significantly reduced aggression against other species for that one. How long have you had those two combo together? Do you have hiding places for the shrimps during molting process? I would think that a molting shrimp is a food for just about any fish without hiding spots.

EDIT: Now I understand your question. Although all knife fish mouth sizes have been increased (since they really are big), your species has been marked with really low aggression which means it will not produce a warning like "will become food if you mix with...". If it still produces that warning, please let me know.

Now this is what it said for me and boy are you all going to have comments

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 94%.
Recommended water change schedule: 80% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 55% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 192%.[SIZE=-1] [Generate Image][/SIZE]
Your tank is seriously overstocked. Unless this setup is temporary, you should consider a larger tank.

Total selected: 19 fishes

Wow that is quite a mix... :D

I'd imagine AqAdvisor gave you a long list of warnings... lol.

Its that damn Pleco, haha! Also I'm sure the Peacocks aren't helping, but I have 0 experience with them so I really wouldn't know.

Your current species mix is pretty much a disaster waiting to happen... I hope you have a backup plan... ;)
