Stocking Compatibility Tool

Build a stocking list — we’ll flag aggression conflicts, tank-size issues, reef-safety concerns, and stocking density before you reach checkout.

Stocking guidelines we use

  • Reef stocking density: ~1" of adult fish per 5 gal (vs. freshwater's 1"/gal)
  • Aggression mixing: only one semi-aggressive species per 50 gal
  • Clownfish: bonded pair only — three+ usually fight
  • Tangs: need swimming length — 4 ft minimum for most species

Livestock safety: Always quarantine new fish 14–30 days. Even captive-bred specimens can carry ich, velvet, or brook. Never add fish straight from the store.
