Should This Work Ok?

[JohnRossDele]

hi all, im changing my tank to a planted tank and im restocking it to suit a good community tank

would this work

Swordtails: 5 (1 male & 4 females)

Mollies: 6 (2 males & 4 females)

Guppies: 12 (4 males & 8 females)

Platies: 12 (3 males & 9 females)

Opaline Gourami: 1 (male; i like the colouration better on males)

Neon Tetra: 17 (I always wanted a nice little shoal of them )

Cories: 7 (3 albino, 3 bronze, 1 peppered)

cheers!

(i used to think i had 6 cories but i must have missed count somewhere along the lines

seems ok to me just get ready for all the fry!!

if you get 2 more peppered cory yh it sounds good

tbh, I would get rid of the gourami and get an apistogramma, but its personal preference really

Make a journal!

lots of different fish dont suite planted tanks IMO

your best off sticking with 3 or 4 species for maximum effect, that way you could have about 40 neons, a pair of dwarf cichlids, a shoal of corydoras (15 or so) and then a shoal of 10 or so hatchets

yeah, good thinking I'll do a journal!

do you think maybe i should get something for the bottom of tank strata since most of them are middle to top
