Stocking advise

[leafs]

I need some advise on stocking my 30 gal. Right now I have 2- Gold Gouramis, 2 -Tiger Barbs(use to have 7), 2- Lemon tetras, 3 - Danios, 5- Harlequin Rosbaras and 2- German blue Rams. Can I add anything else, or am I overstocked? I'd like to add some type of shark looking fish, but from what I've read, most become too big. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Well I usually hang mine at the end of my bed on Christmas eve

Another couple of danios would be good so they can school, then I think thats your limit going by the inch per gallon rule.

Very funny. I guess I could add some more Danios, but I'm looking for something more colorful.

You have 4 different species of schooling fish in non-school numbers. Why don't you do something about that before you cram more fish into your tank?

I'll second that motion!

I agree, too. Barbs are no doubt going to be a bane if not brought up to shoaling number.

Dont think that was what was intended. The danios need to be in groups of 5+ as do the tetras. That should give you an interesting tank. 5 is the min, 6+ is better but your tank is too small as it is. I (IMO) would rehome the tetras, get 5 more danios and rehome one gorami. Then your danios would be happy.

If you can rehome both the gourami, then get a pair of honey gourami, a lot less terratorial.
