    If you enjoy using AqAdvisor.com, please help us out. AqAdvisor.com is running on its own server, and the application is rather CPU intensive. The site traffic has grown over time and we had to upgrade our server regularly whenever we experienced slow-downs due to heavy traffic load. Please help us provide fast and smooth user experience by shopping through us when you shop from Amazon. We receive a small commission if you purchase any products through the links. This has no effect on the cost of the product and is a simple way to give back to AqAdvisor.com for the effort and the hosting service we provide.

    AqAdvisor does NOT use the simple (but flawed) inch-per gallon rule. The underlying algorithm is much more sophisticated and time consuming to implement. Please check our article under 'Beginner's Article' for more details.

    This page is bookmarkable. If you want to come back to this aquarium setup quickly, you can bookmark this page with all tropical fishes and equipments selected. You can also post this link on other message boards to help communicate with others on your stocking plan.

    Please do post AqAdvisor link on other forum sites/forums. Many users have been asking if it is ok to post the link on other sites or forums. AqAdvisor.com has been built for you to share with other aquarium hobbyists. More sites mean more feedback, hence more accurate results.

    To new tropical fish keepers: AqAdvisor.com is a tool/calculator that helps you determine your tropical fish stocking plans. It does not guarantee that the selected species will completely get along in the long run. We are making every efforts to identify potential problems and display them as warnings, but this takes time as knowledge database grows. We highly recommend you to do further research, and discuss results on your favorite aquarium forums and websites. Your favorite aquarium forums won't necessarily endorse or agree with the recommendations reported by AqAdvisor.com. Use AqAdvisor.com to get general stocking recommendations but do your own research BEFORE buying any species. We highly recomend that new tropical fish keepers understock (less than 100%) their aquarium tanks.
