Stocking

Using the Practical Fish Keeper - Density Stocked i got this stock guide::


System type
Tropical freshwater aquarium
Dimensions
100 x 40 x 45cm/39" x 16" x 18
Surface area
0.4 sqm/4.31 sq ft/ inches sq in
Volume
180 l./40 gal. (47.55 US gal.)
Probable volume
162 l./36 gal. (43 US gal.)
Stocking density
36"/91cm (built up gradually)
Maximum density
72"/183cm (theoretical maximum)

My goal is to include these species::

2x Brown Ghost Knife Fish - 20cm - (not yet bought)
1x Tire Track Eel - 90cm
1x Spotted Climbing Perch (Leopard Ctenopoma) - 15cm
6x Rainbow fish?? (not yet bought)
1x Catfish?? (not yet bought)

This gives me a current total of:: 120cm of adult fish

Althought this already excees the suggested density the tire track eel is only 15cm at the moment. Lets hope it never gets to be 90cm :-)
