Stocking Advice

[goldencomet]

in my juwel rio 125 half of my cardinals got wiped out by white spot

so the current stocking is this
1 male and female bristlenose
5 zebra danios
5 cories
1 male and female dwarf gouramis
and 4 cardinals

would i be overstocked if i raised the cardinals to 7 or 8
and added 1 male and 2 female platys?

For those type of fish then the general rule of thumb applies....that is 1" of fish to 1 gallon of water remembering that the 1" of fish means when they are adult. You do the maths
Hope this helps

thanks, i also read that you can gradually build it up to 2" per gallon?
