Hi guys currently have a 64 litre tank with 4 dwarf adult neon rainbow fish, 3 lamprologus occelatus, and a bristlenose baby pleco have i any more room for another few small dithers ie danio?
 
I've never seen the lamprologus occelatus, they look lovely. Do they not need the special cichlid water conditions?
You have about 18" of adult size fish and your tank is 17 gall, so about fully stocked according to that rule.
I think the general concensus is that a mature tank can be more heavily stocked than that though so if it's been setup a while, you could try adding a small shoal of something like endlers or amber tetras, something small.
Zebra danios are very active fish and so need more room than a 64l, but there are plenty of other small fish that would fit :good:
