Subject: Re: new to keeping fish by fcmf on 2/10/2023 16:59:57 https://www.stwater.co.uk/my-supply/wa ... rstanding-water-hardness/ The water hardness for a postcode is provided in degrees Clark/French/German. Look up the postcode for the home and see what it specifies the results as. Cardinal tetras require https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/paracheirodon-axelrodi a range of 18-215 ppm which equates to 1-12 German degrees hardness. The numbers you suggest sound fine to me but you might like to play around with https://aqadvisor.com/ and https://www.thinkfish.co.uk/fish-profiles to see how many they suggest for a tank of those dimensions and the compatibilities of the species you're thinking of. NB. they vary, so I would urge on the side of understocking. Let us know what your water hardness is, then we can advise further on potential species and stocking numbers and compatibilities. |
