Increasing My Stocking

[golfzzin]

Hi,

Im looking to increase my stocking gradually, how many more can i have though?

This is what i have at the moment:

1 x Dwarf Gourami
2 x Ancistrus (Medusa Pleco)
2 x Ottos
2 x Pseudomugil Rainbows
15 x Galaxy Rasbora
8 x Emperor Tetra
10 x Neon Tetra

Ideally, i need to increase the levels of Pseudomugil Rainbows to around 8. Then i would like a female Dwarf Gourami. So that leaves how many more Galaxy Rasbora can i have?

To go in a Juwel Rio 240

Thanks

I'd avoid the Dwarf Gourami, simply because they are very disease prone and may carry Dwarf Gourami Disease. Instead to for any of the 3 other Colisa species. Keep 1 male and as many other females as you want.


EDIT:just noticed you had 2 Dwarf Gouramis and 1 died pretty soon. Do you know why?

Not sure why, only lasted a few hours. It seemed very lathargic when i was aclimatising it. Tested every day since and im getting 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 20ppm nitrate. PH is 8.2 but seems to be coming down a tiny bit the last few weeks

Any more ideas on how may Galaxys i can have? I'd like to go to around 35 of them. Dont plan on having any more species of fish now

Thanks
