hi guys the tank is 3
ft x 1ft x1.5ft. 110 leters or 26gallon aprox

managed to get it cycled reasonably quick with the help of mature filer media, substrate and water from a friend. the tank has been cycled for just over 2 weeks and we have in there... not sure how to spell their names

5 x guppies

2 x three spottd gouramis

2 x mollies

2 x dwarf gouramis 1 male 1 femail

1 x lonesome cherry barb (geven to me by my friend as he underestimated/apitite the size of his more mature fish and his school of 6 was reduced to 1. i know he will need some friends)

so all in all there are 12 fish in my tank all are getting on well and the water peramiters have been stable.

is this tank about fully stocked? overstocked? or is there room for a couple more??

thanks guys!
 
i'd say that as long as you are keeping up the water changes that you could put in a couple more fish.
 
5 x guppies 1" each?

2 x three spottd gouramis Up to 15cm (6") each

2 x mollies 1.5" each

2 x dwarf gouramis 1 male 1 female 2" each

1 x lonesome cherry barb 1.5" for each one

Altogether I reckon you're not overstocked and so long as you've got good filtration you will be able to add a few more cherry barbs. But I'm pretty sure that the three spotted gouramis may grow a bit too big to be happy in that tank. Possibly causing issue with agression. Water quality should be fine though.
 
thanks guys, im not gonna rush out and get anything too soon as im pretty pleased with the way, things have gone thus far. ill probably look at a couple of bottom feeders in the future to even things out and let them dig about in the sand
