Stocking Question

[jag51186]

So, I'm just wondering about the stocking in my eighty gallon (48x18x20 inches). Currently, I have six denison barbs, five rosy barbs, six cory paleatus, 4 otocinclus, and loads of ghost shrimp(I think maybe twenty, the lfs gave me way more than I intended).

My water is soft (about 4 dGH) and pH is 7.6.

My original plan was to put in a decent school of black ruby barbs, but I really enjoy the denison barbs and got those instead. Am I pretty much fully stocked, or can I fit anymore fish? Everything I have now has stayed healthy and happy and I don't want to push it with more fish, if this is where it should be.

Filtration is a fluval 406, and it's pretty heavily planted.

Any help is greatly appreciated, love this forum!

Depends on your maintenance schedule. That sounds light-moderately stocked for the size of the tank. If you do say, 30-35 gallons worth of water changes weekly, I'd say you could add a few more fish. I'd add 3-4 more Otos, a couple more denisons, and maybe some more corys. Some type of angel might work as well, if you don't mind losing some of your shrimp.
