Hello All,

After much consideration I decided today to buy some more fish for my tank. I know I'm a little overstocked but nothing a strong filter and water changes can't handle. On aqadvisor it says I'm at 116% filtration capacity and 87% stock capacity. So I think I should be good. My tank is now complete!! *SUPERSMIL

Today I bought:
6 x rummynose tetra's
1 x German Blue Ram named Christopher (the guy really wanted me to buy two but I thought two would be pushing it)
I know how everyone on here seems to like photos so I will add some later when they aren't all hiding and had some time to adjust to their new home! :)

Although I do have a question should I lower my tank's temperature? It's currently at 80 degrees and doesn't fluctuate which is nice.

Neat. I just got two Golden Rams and they a blast to watch swim and dart around. They'll be at the other end of the aquarium and then before you can blink, WHAM they're all the way over to the other side.

What filter do you have on your tank? I plugged your stocking numbers into AqAdvisor without any filter and it says you're 116% stocked. Just saying. As long as your filter is big enough, I don't see a problem with it.

AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor

Beautiful ram! I just got one too. He's playing in the filter current right now and is just freakin' adorable.

I love rummynose tetras, but I can never find them around here. :(

I have Aqueon Quietflow 20 and when I replugged by stuff into aqadvisor it said 118% stocking capacity and still said 116% for filtration capacity. Do you think I should upgrade my filter?

The store that I bought the rummynose tetra's had tons which I thought was really strange. Usually you see tons of neon tetra's but this store only had like 6 neon's. Go Figure!
