How Many Fish Can I Add At Once?

[mwood2]

Well i plan to add to my 30 gallon stock tomorrow when I visit the store but am debating between the following:

3-5 Peppered Cory

Or

1 Honey

Or one of the following

7 Flame tetra
7 Black Neon Tetra
7 Harlequin Rasbora

The tank has been doing fine and I have been keeping up with some extra water changes (3 cory I have right now are show signs of breeding). How much should I add to my tank this week?

One of the species listed so up to 7 fish per week should be fine.

Would 7 and a Honey be to much with that? I plan on the Honey for sure but am wondering if the 7 would work with it. This depending if me and my girlfriend can decide on which tetra or rasbora we want. If we cant decide we plan to go with the 4 peppered and a honey.

I think 7 and a honey would be a bit too much of an increase as your current stocking of corys aren't particularly messy so your filter bac will need to grow quit rapidly to support such an increase.
