Advice please

[dok]

Hi all,

I’m looking for a bit of advice. I plan on getting a shoal of CPD in my 170l heavily planted tank. Tank details are as follows:-

Dimensions = 48” x 12” x 18”
Ph = 6.5
Temp = 25C

The tank has been running for approx 2 years. I undertake a 50% wc every week and water parameters are well within safe limits.

Current inhabitants are:-

2 x Albino Cories
2 x Adolfoi Cories
Approx 10 x Cardina Japonica (Amano Shrimp)
15 x Cardinal Tetra
5 x Harlequin Rasbora

I plan on moving the Cardinals & Harlequins into one of my other tanks and add 5 Botia Sidthimunkie and 5 Marble Hatchets, meaning the inhabitant list would be:-

2 x Albino Cories
2 x Adolfoi Cories
Approx 10 x Cardina Japonica (Amano Shrimp)
5 x Botia Sidthimunki
5 x Mable Hatchets

Is the above species list compatible with CPD? If so, how many would you suggest and what ration (m/f) should I go for?

Thanks in advance
