Last Resident For My Tank...

[ManMakeFire]

Hi all!

I'm looking for ideas for the last bit of 'space' for my community tank, here are the details..

Tank size = 25US Gallons, Dimensions = 60x38x50

Water Stats: Ph7.6, Hard (210ppm), Nitrate from tap = 10

Medium planted tank (3xCrypts, 1xAnubias, 3xVesicularia) Large piece of Mopani wood and slate cave

Tank is was fishless cycled and the following were added 6 weeks ago:

6 Green Neon Tetra (1" adult size)
5 Glowlight Tetra (1.6" adult size)
4 Fairy Corys (2" adult size)

Thats 22" of fish and they don't appear to be particularly messy fish so I would like to add just a little bit more... i'm open to any suggestions

the 1 inch per gallon is just a rough guide when you have little fih like tetras you can go over that. i would up the corys to 6 they are alot more active in groups and then get a center picse fish like 2 dwarf gouramis

the only thing with plecs is they make alot of mess. how many lph dose your filter do

Cheers for the reply Kizno

I thought about upping the corys but Fairy Corys seem relatively rare in that I have only seen them the once - will a couple of different cory 'mix' in with my other four?

Not sure about Dwarf Gouramis as I have read so much about them being quite weak and prone to disease... in fact my lfs doesn't stock dwarf gourami because of this (or Honey Gourami for the same reason)

Filter does 400LPH..

yh they will fit in with the once you have. and what about 3 female fighters then?
