How Many Fish

[orion57]

hi, i have a 48 litre tank fluval 105 filter water is perfect checked by my local fish shop, i would like to add more fish

tank stock

4 neon tetra
1 black widdow
3 corry's
1 guppy

any ideas what i could add and how many.

How long has the tank been set-up?
Black Widow Tetras are fin-nippers so they may be nipping the Guppy and pestering the Corys.
Neon Tetras often do badly in newly set up tanks and usually die because of that.
The Corys should be in a bigger group.
Which species of Corys do you have?

I would do this stocking for now:
6 Neon Tetra
6 Corys, either 6 albino or 6 Bronze Corys or 6 Pygmy Corys
4 Male Guppies
And finally 2 Honey Gouramis 1 male 1 female

ok thanks for all your advise but why take the black widdow out.
just one last question how long in between putting each lot in

Black Widow Tetras can fin-nipand they are bigger and chunkier than say...Neon Tetra... and need to be in groups of 4+, therefore, they take up more room in your aquarium, leaving less space for other fish
