Sorry Another Stocking Question For The Forum

[mrscullen5373]

55gallon freshwater tank - is this stocking ok?

Trio of Honey gourami (1male:2female)
8 Rummy nose tetra
8 Harlequin Rasbora
10 Panda cory
8 Kuhli Loaches
3 Pitbull pleco
6 cherry barbs (2male:4female)

I am rubbish at maths and stuff. Have I got room for a shoal of cardinal tetras?

Thanks Xx

I would say up you shoal numbers to 10... and I would say you have room for 10 Cardinals too. But i would hang fire on the Cherry Barbs and 'feel' the stock before adding them.

Thank you what makes you say that about the barbs?

They don't shoal well at all so will probably end up just dotted about your tank. With 3 nice sized groups it may look messy imo.
