Aquatic Rhythm Lab

Map your
community mix.

Overlay ecological pressures for a hypothetical freshwater community — thermal window, chemistry, space, predation, social tension, and dwarf shrimp safety. For planning and learning, not for declaring fish "compatible."

ThermalShared temperature range across all selected species
ChemistrypH and hardness overlap for the whole community
SpaceBioload and territory demand relative to tank volume
PredationMouth size and predatory behaviour risk between species
SocialSchooling needs, aggression, and fin-nipping tendency
InvertsDwarf shrimp compatibility and chemical sensitivity

Simplified ranges and rules only. Does not predict individual behaviour, aggression, or disease. Your real tank and your observations come first.

What this lab does

Map overlapping pressures for a hypothetical freshwater mix — thermal window, chemistry, space/load, predation, social tension, and dwarf shrimp safety. For planning and learning, not for declaring fish “compatible.”

Simplified ranges and rules only. Does not predict individual behaviour, aggression, or disease. Your real tank and your observations come first — use the Keeper’s Log for what actually happens at home.

How this lab works

Species parameters (temperature, pH, body size, and behavioural tags) come from the Aquatic Rhythm species pack — hobby-consensus ranges cross-referenced against FishBase and SeriouslyFish. Each species entry carries a citation note.

The pressure engine checks thermal overlap, pH range intersection, bioload coefficient, predation mouth-size matching, fin-nipping pairing, and dwarf shrimp safety. It does not model individual personality, aggression history, or disease. "Elevated" and "High" labels mean the parameter warrants attention — they are not predictions of failure.

Verify species parameters against current sources before stocking. Your real tank and your observations always come first.
