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. 6 fish across 1 species in 200L. Shared temperature 24–28°C. Stocking: balanced (load index 159 vs ref 200).
