Stocking 63l tank

campo

Ok so I am currently cycling my tank and since this is going to take a while I am looking into what to eventually put in the tank so I have two questions one if the fish listed below will mix and two would they all have enough room in tank

Pleco x 1
Neon Tetra x 5
Clown loach x 2
Red Tail shark x 1
Dwarf blue gourami x 1
Tiger Barb x 5

Currently no plants in tank just a couple small ornaments but may in future look at putting in plants

Clown loach - grows to 16 inches, so no to him.

Plec - grows to about the same, unless you get a bristlenose plec.

The red tailed shark might be a bit aggressive with the gourami.

Ok clown loach out did not realise they get so big, I would defo be getting a bristlenose plec and I like the Gourami more then the shark

So would it be ok to have maybe a couple of mollies and a guppy instead of the shark and clown loach.

Sorry for all these questions but as a newbie I really want to give this hobbie a good go but at same time I dont want to be cruel to fish just becuase I dont know what I am doing so trying to read up as much as possible about different breeds etc

I wouldnt keep tiger barbs with guppies, mollies or gourami, esp in a small schhol in a small tank

Just to note. It takes 20+ years for a clown to get to 12". Personally, I have never seen one above that size. They grow extremely slow.

Check the following link. I already put in some random tank dimensions to add to 63L, feel free to add the fish you want.

It will tell you if your tank is overstocked and the fish compatibility.

Thank is a great site thanks so much and it gives so much information, after a look around i could have below which would be 90% of tank capacity
with half water change weekly and they all seem to get along

5 x Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi)
1 x Dwarf Gourami (Colisa lalia)
1 x Betta Imbellis (Betta imbellis)
1 x Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
4 x Corydoras C079 (Corydoras loxozonus)
1 x Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.)
1 x Dwarf Molly (Poecilia chica)
1 x Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus)

seems like a nice enough mix.

Couple of things you may want to consider: would the fish be happier and/or look nicer with more than 1 of them in your tank.
Also think about how reliable you are in terms of water changes and factor that in to your percentage stocking of your tank. I go through phases of reliability and not, therefore I tend to keep mine more around the 70% stockage so now and again i can leave a water change an extra week if im feeling lazy.

Yup, but they should grow to about 8 inches in their first year, which is still too big for a 63L .... takes them the other 19 years to get to 16 inches.
