Tank stocking

[Khald]

We have an aqua one nano 60 (100litre)

Current fish are;
2x dwarf gourami
12x cardinal tetra
1x pleco
5x leopard danios

We’re after advise on our current level and if anyone could advise on either getting more gourami of different colours or any other statement fish to go with our smaller fish.

I would like pics of the dwarf gouramis.
If they are both males they will fight. Even if they were females or a pair the tank it too small.
What kind of pleco. No pleco should be in a 15 gallon.
How long is the tank? Danios are crazy active fish and need a rather long tank. 30" is a recommended minimum form leopards/zebras.

We need the tank dimensions, length and width primarily. And the source water GH and pH.

There is one issue in the list above...gourami are sedate fish and should not be combined with active fish like danios. The cardinals are fine from this aspect as they are less acive almost sedate, much like the gourami. Removing the leopard danios would be advisable.

 

[Crispii]

Not only that, but dwarf gouramis can be territorial to one another. Also, what pleco species do you have?

 

[Khald]

PH is between 7-7.5

Gh is 9 (this was done for us when the tank was first set up) we were told it wouldn’t change

the tank is 60x45x45cm

the pleco is a clown pleco

I’ll try and get pictures of the gourami with the fins spread harder than it sounds as you know

 

[Salty&Onion]

Clown pleco should be in a 20 gallon tank, ideally a 30 gallon tank.
I must agree with everyone else there.

Are you guys in US or the UK our gallons are different to yours

When measuring a tank, in fish keeping you always look at US gallons.

Ok so I have a 29 gallon tank

Nice one! At first I thought I have a 29 gallon too, but I measured my tank again and again until.... I knew it is a 33 gallon lol

 

[trash.binh91]

A quick google search shows me (based off the dimensions) that it is ~32 gallons (the tank).

Try and measure OP's tank on TFF's calc
