Okay so my uncle gave me his 55gallon with some fish already in it. Right now There's a filter rated for 75 gallons and 3 heaters spread around to keep the heat at 78 degrees F.
Current Stocking:
1 Male Opaline Gourami
3 Harlequin Raspboas
3 Black Skirt Tetras
1 Silver Dollar
2 big Plecos
15 or so cories, but we're giving some away to leave us with about 5.
So my question is this: I know the raspboas, tetras, and silver dollar need more fish added to their shoals. So I'm thinking of getting 3 more of each Raspboa, Tetra, and Silver Dollar. Now after I do this and reduce cory numbers a little, do I have room for any more fish? My parents are bugging me saying they want "prettier" fish in there and to not add more of the same kind. I tried to explain to my dad that they are happier in groups, but he has the "they're just fish!" attitude. So I'm trying to make everyone happier here.
Thanks for any help!
