cldlr76 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Hi, I am very new to this!! I bought a AR620 (62cm X 38 X 53 90L) a couple of weeks ago and I have read and heard lots of different things about how many fish can go in it and am getting very confused. We intially put 20 neon tetras in on the advice of the shop we bought the tank from and then we added 2 gold gouramis and 4 blue dwarf gourami also on the advice of the fish shop. How many other fish could I add and what types? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebag Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 hi, if its a brand new tank dont add any more fish at the moment, as it probably wont be cycled yet, but in time u may be able to put a few more fish in, depend on how many plants, filtration, frequency of waterchanges etc. have a good search on the net for info, theres heaps available your LFS should be able to test your water 4 u and tell u whether your tank has cycled, its usually about a month, though the general rule is add fish slowly. many of us learn this the hard way anyway good luck with your new tank, and welcome to the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cldlr76 Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Thanks I have been following the cycling guide in a book I bought and have been testing the ammonia and nitrite levels to make sure these haven't risen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
