How Many Fish

[erialc71]

Hi all. Some advise would be good.
I've just set up a 190l tank.
These are the fish I've stocked it with. Not sure if the mix is right or if I've got to many?
2 angel fish
4 gourami
4 guppy
2 silver sharks
4 tetras
2 ballon mollie
2 short finned mollies
Be great if anyone can advise
Cheers

Hi welcome to the forum
 
Afraid that is too many fish in that size tank... a lot of them have specific needs as well, here are my tips
 
2 angel fish - Need tanks 18 inches deep as they have such long fins but general capacity is good
4 gourami - What species? Gourami and Angels in the same tank can cause problems, they often fight. Also which species of Gourami as so far we could have 6, 6 inch fish in the tank which is a bit much
4 guppy - fine
2 silver sharks - Grow massive, and are really active, these are probably the ones that need rehoming the soonest.
4 tetras - Which species? Need to be in a larger school, try to get all of one kind upto 10 this way you get the best looking shoal and a lot of activity.
2 ballon mollie - Fine, but can have health problems due to the deformity
2 short finned mollies - Not heard of this strain but assuming its just normal mollies - if so they are fine
 
Overall its not too bad, I would look at rehoming the Silver Sharks and probably the Gourami, then get 6 more Tetras

Angel fish and gouramis can get along but most dont, it depends what type you get I think that dwarf gouramis and angel fish have more of a chance at getting along.
Guppies are lovely little fish who seem to get on well with most other fish
The silver sharks do grow up to 16 inches and they are schooling fish so will prefer to be in groups, I dont think these are ideal for your tank or you could get them and not the angel fish or gouramis
Most tetras will probably be fine in your tank but like Wills said, they are schooling fish and are best in groups of ten or more of the same species
I dont know that much about balloon mollies but I know that they are quite peaceful fish and Since these fish are highly inbred the life expectancy is only a year to a year and a half.
Same as Wills, I have not heard of short finned mollies so i am guessing you mean a normal mollie, they are peaceful and calm fish
 
Hope I helped
