what to stock my fish tanks with?

Question:

Thanks ;)

Answers:

Just remember, when you overstock more filtration helps, but needs to be combined with more or bigger water changes - more filtration means more space for bacteria for higher stocking, but higher stocking still means faster nitrate production and general waste build up. Regardless of the equipment on the tank, stocking at reasonable levels is still the best thing you can do to keep a long term clean and healthy tank.

i think you got your stocking options about right. BUT goldfish ARE cold water fish and need to be kept a little cooler.

you can add corydoras, but goldfish sometiems act aggressive towards corys, sometimes they confuse them to be flakes of food (albinos or light colored) Good Luck! hope you get your fish=)
