hi there, looking for some suggestions please on fish to add to my tank. really looking for maybe a couple of larger show fish if possible. fish already in the tank are listed as my signature. Im now less a few of the corys tho. must have had a bad batch cause the water is fine and it was all the ones i bought as a group that died. Ive never had much luck keeping them. people say they are easy to keep and hardy but im not so sure with some of them :no:
 
I'd say your tank is overstocked, due to the size of adult black neons.

Are you using just the juwel filter or have you added an external cannister to the set up?
 
Just using the normal juwel filter. From the calculators i have used and from what i have read it doesnt seem to be overstocked. As far as im aware i can have 80" of fish. even with all the neons the tank looks pretty empty. maybe i just need a ferw small bottom dwellers instead, though maybe not corydoras :lol:
 
I say ur stocked or maybe a little overstocked but you need to upgrade your filter. Using some calculators your tank is roughly 48 gallons, thats about 48 inches of fish u can have not 80 inches of fish.
 
Also keep in mind that that is adult sizes.
Black neons get to just under 2 inches so you already have somewhere around 65 inches of fish if you count just them.
If you want different fish you should trade some of those neons for maybe a couple of dwarf gouramies or something similar. More bottom dwellers with cichlids wouldn't realy help and you can't add anything right now with all those tetras.
