My tank is is a 60l, 60x30x35 tank filtered by a fluval U2, my current stocking is 8 neons, 1 honey gourami and 4 bronze corys. But what I wanna know is do you think the 4 extra neons would overstock the tank as they would be the last fish added to the tank to bring the neon numbers up to 12, and then I think I would be fully stocked as I dont go by the 1 inch per gal rule anymore as my fish all have the own level that they like to occupy.
Here is my tank layout as I did the vid yesterday for a youtube comp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKt34I2A2hk
 
i'd say you would be fine, neons are very small bioload, personally i'd go with about 40 of them :D BUT I'M CRAZY! EHOAEHOAHOEH
 
I think you'll be fine adding another four.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I was always told that adding more of one species produces less bioload than a lot of different ones.

dont tell me that I will probs get another 8, but how many more neons do you think I could add with my current stocking?
 
another 32 :) honestly, lol, i'd do it :)

I had 80 in my 90 litre, but then i put them into my 5 foot tank and my Firemouths ate them all :|

If I didint have the other fish I would, as I imagine the gourami would not be happy with all the little neons zooming about. think I might just get another 8 then, thank for the help, and that sounds like it was some expensive food for your firemouths lol
 
you could add another 10 i am pretty sure, my try adding just five, and adding 2 more bronze corys

It wasn't too bad, the tank they came from was packed and the guy couldn't be bothered to count so i only paid for 40 and it was 50p each :) But yeah, expensive snack :) It did look awesome though :D

I imagine so.
 
I would add the four and leave at that, tbh; it is only a 60l, and your bronze cories are going to be chunky fish, if they're not already.

Ok, I will just go with the 4 as my corys are still young I imagine, but some of them layed eggs the other day so must be at least a year old,
