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 · GOOD

On paper this can work — still match filtration, adult sizes, and run pair checks; real fish may surprise you.

Single-species or centrepiece lean — fewer cross-species surprises; match temperature and pH tightly to that fish. 6 fish across 1 species in 80L. Shared temperature 22–28°C. Stocking: balanced (load index 42 vs ref 80).
