Stocking Ideas...

[abih2005]

I there. My tank's almost two years old now, a few of the first fish I bought recently died (of old age I would presume) and so my tank is looking a little empty.

I have two Juli cory catfish, 6 cardinal tetras and 5 sparkling gouramis.

Any ideas? I was thinking to either get more catfish or more cardinals but I don't want to freak the gouramis out, they're fairly timid!

size of tank?

Heya - rookie error! It's a 54l tank with gravel and lots of lovely wood and plants.

Maybe some more catfish or other sort of tetras

IMO you are already fully stocked. At 54 litres you ahve about 15 gallons, something I have a better feel for. The cardinals and gouramis account for about 12 gallons and the cories are good for another 4 or 5 gallons. That is m,ore space than you have. If you are willing to do tons of large water changes you can always bring in more fish, but for a minimal care situation you are already fully stocked. If I decided to add fish to your arrangement, I would get 3 or 4 more of those cories.
