The Time Has Come To Stock My Tank...

[Em29]

I have a 90l Fluval Roma tank....

PH is around 8 and it is readily using 3ppm ammonia in 12 hours and Nitrite at a zero after 12 hours. Nitrate is at 20ppm.

I have done a 75% water change to day and planted it up. It looks lovely

I have decided two species.....have gone with what I am confident with.

I would Like peppered Cory's
Platies (I have Two adults with fry in another tank)
AND one other species but not sure what...

How many Corydoras would you recommend (I want atleast 10?)
How many Platies? (I would like atleast 12 or more)


I will not be putting them all in together immediately...one species every two weeks ish

And another type of NON LIVEBEARER please...

Any suggestions?

honey gourami?

Corydoras prefer to be in groups of 6+, you could comfortably house half a dozen in your tank, what substrate do you have?
I am unsure of Platies in all honesty (never kept them) but the fact they are livebearers should always be taken into consideration.
Honey or Dwarf Gourami would be nice.

Glad some of you are suggesting gourami too. I like the dwarf and honey gourami's but I am rubbish with how many...

Does 10 x pep cory
12x platy
4x dwarf gourami sound ok for a 90 l added over time as filter adjusts?
