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.

Score 89/100·Confidence low·General community mix

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.

Warnings

  • pH overlap is tight — large water changes can swing chemistry outside the safe band.

Positives

  • WaterTemperature ranges overlap comfortably (20–28°C).
  • StockingStocking pressure looks conservative — room to grow schools or add compatible species if filtration allows.
  • StockingEvery listed species has a published minimum tank size at or below 60L.

Compatibility summary

Species pairing: needs care

warning· other
  • Amano Shrimp + Assassin Snail: Amano Shrimp + Assassin Snail: Assassin Snail will eat shrimplets. Adult Amano Shrimp usually coexist with Assassin Snail in planted tanks, but offspring are eaten — expect the colony to hold steady or shrink, not grow.
