I don't know, but I would suggest a lower cory bioload and a higher molly bioload. In my opinion, cories would lower the bioload, not raise it by 5% in my case. Also, the kuhli loach bioload is about 4%. This seems more or less accurate. However, for the kuhlis, I'm also not sure whether the same "cory" rule applies as they would have the same effect as the cories since they clean up leftover food. Thank you for listening to my concerns.

I think you need to add endlers livebearer to the list. They're related to guppies in case you aren't familiar with them and they grow about 1.5"
And what about live plants? They help out with filtration by reducing ammonia, etc etc
Oh and thanks so much! AqAdvisor has been SO helpful with stocking my tanks! You rock!

As for plants, yes I am still doing some brainstorming. I have an idea but still thinking about how to let users enter their plants in some what accurate manner. I don't want to go with "light" vs "medium" vs "heavily" planted tanks.

I have been working hard on the salt water version of AqAdvisor. Initially, it will be somewhat simple and will only feature few species at a time. Hopefully with some help, saltwater species DB will grow as well. I am hoping that the early version will see its light starting next Sunday! I'd like to focus on few species at a time and get the accuracy nailed earlier on. I will continue to develop the freshwater version though - features like support for plants and sumps are still planned.

that's cool yhbae.
I have a question:
How long do you have the max size set on your Swordtail option? as in how many inches/cm? I am just asking because you might have it's bioload set too low due to an expected smaller size.
Please get back to me on that question
