I'm thinking of adding tiger barbs. How many can I add? O:

Don't add tiger barbs. They are fin nippers and they will nip your platys and guppies. You'll need at least 6 (8 preferbly) and even then there's no guarantee that they will only nip amongst themselves. Try something else.

Agreed. In a big enough group apparently they become less nippy, but I don't think your tank would support a big enough group.

A pair of Bolivian Rams would be a reasonable addition to make, and would take you up to about the limit for that size tank.

Any suggestions then? O:

Here's my comminuty tank

That's surprising - there are few shops over here that don't sell them!

Have you considered mail order? Other options could be a few peacock gobies or a honey gourami off the top of my head.

you could add more Harlequin Rasboras so they feel more secure and shoal better. I plan on upping my group to 10 from six soon.

 

[keimak]

I don't think anyone would mail it to my country and I can't afford it

Yea i'm thinking about adding more rasboras too

How's about some apistogramma cacatuiodes or agasizzi? 1m:3f would be nice )

I'd increase the numbers of the rasboras and the cardinals. they like larger schools and look neat when you have more of them swimming around.
