do i have the right community fish an what else can i interduce in ti my tank i dont want fin nipping been advised to get some harliquins but what else can i get for my tank dont want agresive fish thanks all mike
 
what volume is it? For a 3 footer, it look heavily stocked already to me, but depending on the filtration and other dimentions, it might be possible to add a few more. I doubt it though, unless it's over 2-3 foot wide.

Can you also give us a run doen of water stats in your tank for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and if you have them GH and KH. This will help with picking suitable fish. What filter are you running?

All the best

my tank is 3 ft long by 1 wide by 1,9 high
i have a fluval 3plus the big 1 lol

dont have cem info to hand sorry
 
I would not say it is overstocked as the fish don't produce that much waste as they are small. I think those fish are a good community together put in 3 corys to bring the bottom to life.
 
nice selection except maybe the betta u mite find some aggression towards guppies l8r on but u would have 2 see!!!

also 3 corys wont be enough try minimum of 6 they would prefer this as there a shouling fish :)

oh and welcome 2 the forum :):):)

Welcome Mike. In the US that's a 45 gallon tank, I have one. You are starting to get nearly a full stocking as Rabbut said but as jen suggested you might get away with a few more cories.
 
What sex are the Mollies and Guppies?. If you've any male/female mix, it won't be long before you are overstocked. Keep an eye on the Neons, too, they like to nip long-finned fish like bettas. Three Neons isn't really enough for a shoal anyway; I'd replace them with 5 or 6 Corys.
