Stocking plan

Plan a freshwater tank stocking

Set volume, add species with the numbers you actually plan to keep, and get a conservative verdict for the whole stocking — bioload, group size, zone crowding, and multi-species conflicts, not a single pair in isolation. Use the editor first; the planning notes below explain why a pairwise match still needs a tank-level check.

Shared plan · CAUTION

Marginal overall fit — conservative rules do not call this a clear win; simplify the list or increase margin (space, filtration, observation time). Review supporting points next, then re-run the check.

Primary issue: Marginal overall fit — conservative rules do not call this a clear win; simplify the list or increase margin (space, filtration, observation time). Single-species or centrepiece lean — fewer cross-species surprises; match temperature and pH tightly to that fish. 1 fish across 1 species in 100L. Shared temperature 24–28°C. Stocking: understocked (load index 25 vs ref 100).

Score 90/100·Confidence low·Species / centrepiece lean

One or more species profiles are only partially verified or need verification — treat numbers as planning guidance, not guarantees. At least one species has ID or trade-name ambiguity on file — plan for a typical trade example, not every shop label.
