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

Group sizes are under hobby norms for at least one social species — behaviour and stress follow group size. Review supporting points next, then re-run the check.

Primary issue: Group sizes are under hobby norms for at least one social species — behaviour and stress follow group size. Temperament spread or predators in the mix — feeding order, territory, and observation matter more than in an all-peaceful list. 4 fish across 3 species in 200L. Shared temperature 24–28°C. Stocking: understocked (load index 80 vs ref 200).
