I wouldn't add anymore fish in. I'd say I'll view it as a moderate fish load.
No more saltwater tank for me!
i was just wondering whether i have too much fish in my 2 ft tank....can you guys give me your opinion??
10 neeon tetras
11 white minnows
4 yamato prawns
2 SAE

More importantly, tell us how well planted your tank is and what type of filtration you are running. Better yet, show us a picture.
CHeers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
i have 3 times as many fish in a 2ft..... but that is not reccomended if you're not keeping up on water quality..
3 times?! Isn't that 60+ fishes??

Too much meh? I am planning on like 20 Corydoras hastatus and Aspidoras sp., a couple of hillstream loaches, many cherry shrimps and like more than 20 Endlers in my proposed 2ft tank leh... Not to mention, I might be tempted to add more along the way leh...
But I guess it depends on the size of the fishies eh? As well as the amount of plants in the tank... Right?

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted!), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted!
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
For a 2 feet planted, i have 30 cardinal (growing fast on good feeding), 1 neon (survivor of my last neon batch), 1 SAE, 1 honey dwarf gourami, 2 pencl fish, 2 black neon, 3 spot tail lite neon, 3 others(small like guppies), 10 yamato, 80+ malayan, 1 wood shrimp......
all seems fine, maybe will give away some cardinal when they reach XL
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Valice.. it would be a sin to say what i have in teh 2 ft tank..hahaha.. but 60 plus is about right.. and they aren't small fishes like neon tetras..
Justin, yours is nothing. When i started I had 100 plus close to 200 fishes in a 2ft tank. Don't slam me. I was a newbie then. But i did have a powerful canister to handle the bioloadOriginally Posted by ranmasatome

I believe with the tank is well-planted and has a powerful filter system, it should be able to handle high bioload. I ever have a 2FT tank with 200++ fishes inside. It was running on 2X cannisters.

Well...if you can't be borthered to give proper information, then you can't expect good advice. Or worse, you may get the wrong advice that may mess up your set up.
Anyway, from I can see of your inlet basket and your rain bar set, You are probably using a Eheim Classic 2213. If this is the case, then you current bioload is not a problem in your tank. Don't worry.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Hehheh... Now it is so tempting to get 20 B. Briggitae and dump it into my 2 ft now liaoz... I got nearly 40+ fauna inside already... Hahaha...Valice.. it would be a sin to say what i have in teh 2 ft tank..hahaha.. but 60 plus is about right.. and they aren't small fishes like neon tetras..

Given that you gonna have 20+ Endlers in your tank, wouldn't they squabble during mating? My black mollies x platies are fighting non-stop and it can be very distracting sometimes especially in a small tank...

I certainly hope they dun! Anyway, they are with my friend now... And he has no problems with them... So cross fingers lah..

no lah..should be no problems.. i used to run my old 2026 on my 2 ft!! hahaha... but thats cos the bioload was really high with over 60 fishes that are at least 5-6cm in size!! you have to keep up on water quality if you want to overstock fish.. and also keep up on fish behaviour.. once you et notorious ones in there it becomes a nightmare..
