Just to give you a better idea on how AqAdvisor.com works. Initially, a species (requested from a user) gets added to DB but based on my own research on the profile sites and forums. Often, this is not 100% accurate. Even profile sites are not consistent. Once added, users can try out their own species and they will let me know if it is in line with their expectations or not. If not, I fine tune attributes for the particular species until the result looks right. Once tuned, next user who selects the same species will benefit from this result.

The key thing here is the feedback from experienced users. I am NOT familiar with large new world cichlids and never kept them during the 7 years of my hobby. Once the problem is identified, DB is designed flexible enough that I can fix individual species bioloads and compatibility issues.

I'd appreciate to those who can provide some feedback, both +ve and -ve ones.

Thanks! :D
I know this is asking too much but could you possilby cater to the dark side (Salt Water) I don't expect you to but it would be nice. I like using this for my fresh water setups.

[SIZE=-1]Length(inch) 78.7[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Depth(inch)31.5[/SIZE], [SIZE=-1]Height(inch)23.6[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] (253.3gUS)[/SIZE]

Warning: Saddled Bichir is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 24 inches.


Recommended temperature range: 25 - 28 C. [SIZE=-1][Display in Farenheit][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6.8 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 6 - 15 dH.


You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 120%.
Recommended water change schedule: 58% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 35% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 146%


Please add more Snakeheads to the lists, i would love to see more species than just the rainbow one there. for example: aurantimaculata, marulioides, marulius, micropeltes.
For good info about snakeheads, visit: http://www.snakeheadsuk.com/

And also, as far as i know, Polypterus Lapradei can reach same size as Endlicheri Endlicheri if im not mistaken :) And i dont agree that Endlicheri will get too big for my tank :p

If i add the fish i have on growup also, i get up to 276% overstocked :nilly:

Nice calculator tho! Gives one a good overlook about the stock in the tank and so on.

Yeah, agreed that you could keep any bichir for life in an 80x32 tank.

Actually, I am going to build it. My knowledge in Salt water species is much more restricted though, so I am going to start slow and add few species at a time. I am going to need quite a bit of help either confirming +ve or -ve results though. Quite a few people are interested in this. :D

Note: Common Pleco needs driftwood.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 137% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Colossoma macropomum, Astronotus ocellatus, Rocio octofasciatum, Pterygoplichthys pardalis) or get a larger tank.

Recommended temperature range: 73.4 - 80.6 F. [SIZE=-1][Display in Celsius][/SIZE]

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 113%.
Recommended water change schedule: 53% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 31% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 142%


Nifty tool imo and pretty close to what I already do with water changes.
