Stocking Scheme

[Covert]

Hey, basically, i'll soon be buying a 125 liter tank. In it i will be adding my current stock: 1 guppy and 6 neon tetra. I will then be hoping to add 6 glowlight tetra, and a few corydoras. I want to base this tank on the idea of lots of small fish, like these. So, i need ideas on what to stock it, and how many fish i can add, bearing in mind i want to keep them small.

My current idea:

1 guppy
6-10 neon tetra
6 glowlight tetra
4-6 corydoras
other small fish.

Some smaller fish i have seen in my lfs are cherry barbs and dwarf neon rainbowfish...

any ideas for a good stocking scheme?

add a few more guppies. they look good when they are in packs....
also i suggest 6 corries rather than 4 due to them being more comfortable in small groups.....

Yeah i know guppies are better in groups, but ive given up on them now, they never last, or carry some sort of disease when i get them

Look for wild or feeder guppys they're much hardier than the fancy variety since they haven't been inbred as much.

i agree with KraKen... they are hardier but the fancies are still better looking to me......
good luck
