Stocking Question

[stevereade]

Just wondered if my stock is too much and if not how much more can I go for. I have an 80 litre fully planted tank and it houses 9 Neon Tetra, 3 Pygmy Cory's and about 100 Cherry Shrimp. I'm planning on getting another 3 Pygmy Cory's as I know they like bigger groups and I was thinking of getting a male Badis and 2 female Badis. There are loads of hiding places and little spots the Badis will make a home in but wondered if its too much or about the max I can go, I hope so cos thats the only fish I want in this tank.

I reckon it should be fine. But I'd have 1 male Badis and 1 female Badis instead. What species of Badis are you going for?

Scarlet reds they're stunning.

I have a 35L that houses 5 Glassfish, 1m and 1f Badis, a clown pleco, 5 pygmy corys and a fair few RCS too and there`s plenty of room for them all. I would have thought an 80L would be fine.
Having recently lost 1 of my female Badis, the male seems to be more active with the other female that`s left now so maybe just 1m and 1f would be a better option?

Yeah think that may be a better idea, I'll go with one of each so long as I actually see them from time to time, my tank is a jungle lol
