How Many More Fish?

[GTS_MAD]

Hi Guys, Just wanted to ask you guys a quick question.
How many more fish could i keep in my 4ft tank?

Its a 4ft Tank holds 165-175litres.
So far there is....

5 Clown Loach
3 Bala Sharks which are babies but will be getting 6ft tank in near future.
1 4" Plec
6 Corys
2 Goast Knife Fish

What are your thoughs and also what you think i should add, id like something active or something that doesnt hide away alot?

i would not add anything else. your tank is not suitable even for the clown loach. sorry to say this.

There are plenty of people with goldfish in bowls, it doesn't make it right.

Yea what mark said,clown loaches and I think the ghost knives.but once you get rid of them you could get some tetras,or guppys.Tetras will shoal but guppys will produce A LOT of fry.You will be spoiling your bala sharks with a great source of live food and once they get to big and you move them to a six foot,get an attention grabbing center peice fish like a cichlid or a gourami.I think tetras or live beareres would be perfect for that descrition

i agree.... that the clowns, the bala's and the bgk's are not suitable for a tank of that size! if its 4 foot and only holds 165-175L then it must be shallow or narrow or both!
my 4ft tank holds 240L and thats quite small for a 4 footer.....
