Afternoon all,

I’m currently thinking about what I want to stock in my 60 litre 60P. It’s a high tech planted set up.

I was thinking 25 green neon tetras and 10 amano shrimps.

Thoughts?
 
I find 1 amano per 7,5 litre a good ratio for algae cleaning. 10 should be fine in your 60p.

I have heard green neon tetras will swim more in open space when tank is larger, but you could try it ;). They have beautiful colors I really love them.

Personally I had a temporary tank 60x30x30 to keep fish and filter a live and they were always hiding. In my 80x40x40 they swim more in the open space.

You could try AqAdvisor gives you an idea not 100% accurate.
 
This is what I had in my 60L:
  • 40+ - Red Cherry Shrimps
  • 8 Neon Tetras
  • 8 Harlequin Rasboras
  • 8 Pygmy Cories
  • 1 Zebra Nerite Snail
  • 5 Amano Shrimp
I use Aquadvisor to get an idea on stocking. Usually I'm fine if it says I have to change 40% of the water weekly and mainly ignore the rest
