Hi there. I set up a 65 gallon custom built tank 2 weeks ago now, and am starting to thing about stocking (don't worry, I intend to leave it at least a couple more weeks to get the water and filter nicely conditioned etc).
What would be a sensible order in which to add the fish? Obviously I want to do it over a period of time in order to get the filter up to speed, but I want to do it quickly enough that there are as few territory problems as possible.
sam_d, dimensions are more important than gallons. Because your tank is 36" long rather than 48" long like a 55G, Charles is recommending 2 species only and no cyps at all.
I have a 36" tank as well, I'm keeping Calvus and Caudopunctatus.
