Fish for the Planted AquariumPlanted Aquarium Fish - Discuss which type of aquarium fish are best suited for the aquatic plant environment you have created. Create a natural home for aquarium fish using aquatic plants.
This may actually be considered overstocking your aquarium. With that many fish in that size aquarium, an algae bloom will be in your future for sure. Something else to think about is that when you have an overstocked aquarium, the filter you have that may be well suited for 18 gallons of water may not be able to handle the bio load, this will cause chronic ammonia problems usually accompanied by chronically cloudy water. The answer to this would be better filtration, but remember that a better filter will usually have better water flow. This may or may not be a good thing for you fish/plants depending on how much water movement is added.
Unless you've kept them before I would omit the coral red pencils. They are super hard to keep and they like to jump out of open tops. It's just a little heart breaking to find $12.00 fish crispy on the floor.
The rest looks good, 3 ottos, SAEs get 7" when full grown.
Well I have definitely ommitted the SAE and probably sparkling gourami as well, but I want to try the pencils because I think they are stunning. If they are jumpers I will just get the cube garden clips and make a glass lid for the first month or so. So the updated stocking list is:
