How many of each

[thapsus]

How many of these species would you put to this tank:

24 us gallons.
Right now NO3 5 but 40% water change done only few days ago and last time 2 weeks before. pH about 7, water is very soft. Tank is planted.

Species:
Danio choprae
Corydoras panda
Atya gabonensis

Right now I have 8 danios, 6 corys and 2 atyas but I have some fry waiting and I'm wondering how many of them I can put to tank and how many I have to sell.

Opinions. Thanks.

Glolight danios stay under 2inchs as far as im aware so i think your 8 along with the 6 pandas and 2 atyas would be fine in the 24gal together, be careful with filter feeders though as they survive off tiny creatures and partciles in the tank water and these are somtimes not present in large enough quantitys in new tank set ups- just make sure you do a fishless cycle in the tank(read up on this in the pinned articles in the beginners section for how to do one as it is far more than leaving the tank empty for a couple of weeks) before adding any fish/shrimp.

Tank has been running for severeal years so the setup is not new. I already have those fish but since they are breeding so much I have lots of fry in separate tank waiting to get to a bigger tank.

I have 5 quite big chopraes waiting to get off of frytank. Can I fit at least them to this 24gal?

I would say the tank will be pretty much stocked with the current stocking so i'd avoid adding anymore
