    Hi all old bird seniors, needa some help from you. I'm a noob in this hobby, just set up a 1.5ft planted tank running for around 6 weeks now. Everything seems fine so far and fishes seems happy. I have 15 cardinal tetra juveniles, 1 adult white cloud, 3 otos, 2 yamatos and 7-9 CRS. Is the bioload too heavy for a tank of this size? Cos I know tetras can grow to quite big sizes.

    Thanks for all the help Qian Beis!

    maybe you should get a nice set up for shrimp only, cause they are better with it self, if there are fish around, the shrimp will hide and you can not see them, so keep in a shrimp tank, so the tank with 15 cardinal, 1 adult white cloud, 3 otos, 2 yamatos can set as a planted tank. by the way don't said old bird seniors most of us not that old.

    for planted tank, you can ask around in here there are alot of experience planted tank people who as a set up in here

    I think for the calculator, filtration capacity < 100% is not ok. Stocking level < 100% is ok.
