| Here are some examples of community aquariums kept by some of the
readers. Please understand that these are examples of what some of the
readers are keeping and by no means represent ideal or optimum stocking
levels. Some go against all principals of good aquarium management.
Badman's does not agree or disagree with them and posts them here for
informational purposes only, I will however give my opinion on the stocking
levels. Do not use them as a template for your aquarium and do not
take the green check as an endorsement of your set up. It simply means
for the time being your aquarium is not overstocked, further research
is needed on your part to check on specific requirements for your fish
to allow them proper conditions to thrive. I STRONGLY suggest that
if you have any questions you read the information from the main site
or visit the sites message forum.
Use them to get a better idea on how to set yours up and what to keep
in them. Remember all fish should be researched before purchasing. Please
use this FORM
to submit your tank.
SUBMIT YOURS!
If you do not see your aquarium listed here within a week or
so of submitting it is probably because the the form was not filled out as requested.
I cut and paste the results so if you use all caps or add different punctuation
marks it forces me to write them by hand and I have found it takes up too much
of my time. Please try again and I will gladly add your aquarium here.

| Badman's opinion on stocking levels
|
 |
Overstocked now and / or bad combination of species.
Check potential fish size and temperament |
 |
Caution, will be overstocked with potential fish
growth and / or bad combination of species |
 |
OK stocking level only, each inhabitant should be
researched. This does not take into account behavioral traits
such as schooling, swimming level and special dietary needs. |
 |
Not enough specific fish information |
| These are my general thoughts, each aquarium will differ
slightly based on your maintenance schedule and equipment. While the icons are based primarily on stocking levels it must be noted that certain species,
primarily tetras are schooling fish and need to be in groups of six or
more. While single specimens may not alter your tank capacity they will
put the fish under stress and not let it live up to its potential.
The
icons usually indicate that one or more of the fish are either too large
or soon will outgrow the tank. While many of the fish will survive in
smaller tanks they will not flourish and when kept in cramped conditions
are more prone to disease. It may be time to upgrade to a larger tank
or remove the fish. Please do not take it as an insult or criticism
, we are just trying to promote a healthy environment for our pets.
As always research your purchase before buying it for you setup.
