How Is My Stock?

[Rorie]

I have a 90L tank, a cube in shape....almost.

I have

6 danios
3 glowlight tetras
4 guppys (about an inch long each)
2 mollys (about an inch and a half each)
2 dwarf gouramis
1 rainbow shark (still small, about 3inch long, but very thin)
2 corrys that are still tiny
2 cynclits (no idea of their proper name? algae eating wee things about an inch long)

Is this me at capacity for when they grow, or can i add any more, and if so, any recommendation? I would like some bigger fish (molly size) rather than small ones (danios)

Thanks

Many people are probably going to tell you that you don't have enough cories.

Cories need to be in groups (shoals) of 5 at the very least and they should be the same species.

But I also don't know if your tank is overstocked but I'm sure someone else will clarify.

I have a 90L tank, a cube in shape....almost.

I have

6 danios Fine, as long as they're all the same species
3 glowlight tetras Should really have 3 more as they're shoaling fish
4 guppys (about an inch long each) Fine as long as they're all same sex or at least 2:1 females:males
2 mollys (about an inch and a half each) Ditto with guppies
2 dwarf gouramis Two males might well fight so best in M/F pairs
1 rainbow shark (still small, about 3inch long, but very thin)Will outgrow the tank as a sub-adult/adult so would recommend he is rehomed or you upgrade soon. Ideally should have 30-40 gallons (135-180 litres)
2 corrys that are still tiny Should really have at least a couple more of the same species
2 cynclits (no idea of their proper name? algae eating wee things about an inch long) Otocinclus? Should be in groups of 6

I don't think you have space for anymore new fish at the moment. The shark needs room to grow without being overcrowded as they can be terriatorial and the other fish need to be put into those larger groups I mentioned before new fish are introduced to the system. Always best to prioretise the wellbeing of your current fish. All the fish need to be considered at their adult size - it doesn't matter if they're babies or adults, they take up the same space in your stocking plan.

Let us know how it goes
