Can I have any more fish?

[laingdda]

Hi. I have a 65 litre tank. It has been running since January. It has 4 Cory and 5 guppies. Is there space for any more fish? Please not I am not too keen on tetras as they are very sensitive but just about any other fish.

I would hold it there unless all of your guppies are same sex. Otherwise, you’ll have plenty of fry in no time. If they are all same sex then you could add a couple of platies.

It would help to know the GH (general hardness) of your water (the tap water) before we suggest fish that may or may not be suited to your water. The pH would also help.

Subject to the GH...it would be best to get a few more cories before anything else. A group of five or six is often recommended as minimum, but a couple more will always mean healthier fish. This is a very social fish, but the numbers are necessary to alleviate stress from the lack of fish in the group.
