Stocking The 50 Gallon

FishCrazy1234 · 08-17-2005, 09:34 AM

I am getting my 50 Gallon ready and I wanted these fish. I wanted to know if these got along or not or if this is to much for the tank. Thanks

3 Angel Fish
2 German Blue Rams
1-2 Pearl Gourmais
3-6 Hatchet Fish
2 Mollies
4 Rummy Nose Tetras
4 Bleeding Heart Tetras
3-4 Cory Cats

sounds good but have a filter that isnt to powerful or those angels might get caught and watch those angels cause they are known to try and eat smaller fish

Remove one school of tetras and double the size of the other. Increase the hatchet to at least 6. Ditch the mollies. Other than that, it sounds good.

Neon tetras are their natural food. I dont think they will eat the bleeding hearts or rummy noses. What I would do is skip the gouramis and mollies.

I would do this
2 Angel Fish
2 German Blue Rams
6-8 Cories of the same species
8-10 Rummy nose tetras
and if you must 6 hatchets.

I have a 55g with whats listed below and it actually looks kindof crowded and this is probably the least fish I have had in there.

i would add a clown pleco and more rams

I think more rams would be overdoing it, maybe 3 rams but as is you want everyone to have enough space to swim and claim territory. you could 1 or 2 smaller fancier plecos.
