Stocking Question...

[augustaranger]

Current stocking in 20g: 6 danios, 5 neons, 3 rasboras and 1 guppy; total of 15 small bodied fish.

I have an Aquaclear 50 with a sponge pre-filter and perform a 25% water change weekly. Also have a bubble curtain for extra o2 and water circulation. My water stats are always excellent.

Do you guys think I'd be OK adding 4 small cories?

well i guess some of ur fish are schooling fish they must be in more numbers like neons and rasboras and guppy.

I would add 1 more Neon and 3 more Rasboras and call it quits

Hi, what Danios do you have? I am guessing either leapard or zebra. They are really active fish so 6 are quite a handfull. The neons are fine. The rasboras and Guppy........if it were me I would re-home the Guppy (a lone one will be stressed) and add another rasbora.

Don't see too much of a problem adding Corys. Absalute minimum is 3 and of the same type. Why not try 4-6 Pigmy Cory but remember they don't stay on the bottom all the time like other Cory....more mid-tank dwellers.

My long finned danios include 4 zebras, 1 gold and 1 blue. I like the idea of rehoming the guppy and adding a rasbora. Would you suggest any particular type of cory? I'm thinking pandas or albinos. Thanks for the suggestion.

My fave are Schwartz Cory (see signiture) or clik HERE Most cory are suited but remember not less than 4 and all the same

i dispute a lone guppy will be stressed. There's no reason why it would be stressed with the correct water parameters, how would we know it was stressed? Would it be less stressed it moved?
