Is the stocking OK (60 liters)?
The gravel
Hello, I have bought a 60 liter aquarium and wanted to ask if the fish I have planned are suitable for the tank size.
Stock:
— 5-6 guppies
— 5 Armano shrimp (from my other tank)
— approx. 15 Red Fire Shrimp
– 3 small ocellated loricariids (also from my other tank)
— possibly thorny eyes (although my gravel might be a bit too big. I'm attaching it as a photo)
What do you think? I'm very open to constructive criticism and look forward to your feedback.

Hi.
I see this somewhat more optimistic than eiei2. Even though the Guppys…nun yes. See ***
I would only take one of the two shrimp species and if it were the amanos you already have, I would take a 10-20 l nano for the Red fire. That’s more fun anyway.

Guppys grow considerably from 3 males 3 females become much more. Logical.
Dornaugen also go on the gravel floor, they would look forward to plenty of winter leaves on the ground ( oak, beech) and a large group of Cryptocoryne wendtii/walkeri.
I would have

*** Now I would say that if you did not want to have 60 adult + many young guppys (although this is not objectively bad) then take a less strongly propagating type for the free water.

Thank you
Nice gravel. Unfortunately, it is impractical, the plants do not keep properly in it and fine feed particles are tricky for the animals. Optically, I find such coarser gravel still very beautiful. Especially when it consists almost only of clean round-ground stones without breaking surfaces.
I think you’ve planned too many species. None of the species will do that because they interfere with each other.
I only recommend Guppys in the art pool. As a colony, which can multiply as desired. For other species, her restless wrath and her fodder envy are always disturbing. And a pure group of men, especially if it consists of only a few animals, is simply not kind.
I don’t think I can combine Amanos with dwarf cigarettes. It just ends too many babies as live food of the amanos.
Otocinclus and closely related species should always only be kept in groups as large as possible. They will be very shy and inactive if there are too few. 3 are definitely too little. In nature they are practically always in huge swarms. To prevent them from starving, they should only be used in a basin that has been running for several months. Except you have some of them you know they’re food-proof.
For thorn eyes, the aquarium should really be set up in an art-friendly manner, with sand bottom, caves and narrow gaps between stones.
I have sand floor and a cave.
And I let the Otocinclus die. I tried to deliver them, but nobody wanted them.
Hello
Icv would say Ern Kies could you take a smaller one with smaller mixing or! Guppys are ok 👍 the three otos have too little plants as a retreat so what I see on the picture!
Thorn eyes 👍
For shrimps, the floor is to coarse but good that you have roots 👍 There are much too many shrimps for the 60l basin 🧐!
You need to cover the filter technology for suction with a fine shrimp or sponge otherwise it looks cool from 👌🏻

I also have sand and floor deckers in the aquarium. In addition, some fast growing plants. Yes, then I’ll pick up and mix new gravel again. It looks good too. Thank you for your feedback.
Please, but really! You should leave some shrimps, it’s just too many!😐🙃Lg F
Ok
And as already mentioned, there are not too many garnel that regulate themselves
Sorry I got the wrong shrimp type Reading 🤣 Lg F Sorry 🙈
Not at all.
Where do the Amanogarnels cross with Red Fire Shrimps?
Yes then 👌🏻
That doesn’t matter either only fish or fish with shrimps but the shrimps really keep less where you want the new ones if you have too many and secondly the species can cross and that would be confusing 🧐🙃
Lg F
Yes
Do you have any shrimps?
15 garnel too much for 60 liters? Shrimps Stämme regulate themselves up to an overpopulation it takes a long time there are many 60 liters stretching with 300 garnels+ and the stems mercifully continue
I only have the amanogarnels in a bigger basin. I haven’t got the Red Fire yet.
