What Should I Get Next - Suggestions

[matchstickgeezer]

Hi all... im looking for suggestions of tropical fish that will make my tank more colourful and also more varied.

At the moment the tank has only been running for about 7 weeks so I only have the following hardy fish.

2 x Zebra Danios
2 x Orange Swordtails
2 x Spoted Black & White Mollies
1 x Plec (Leopard print style)
3 x Guppies
1 x Blue Platy
1 x Mystery Baby Fish (Was accidentally given to me with some of my other fish from the LFS!)

I realise these are mainly hardy fish.... was thinking of adding 4 neon tetras and another zebra, but would like a few more specialised or colourful fish as well.

Tank is 3ft x 1.5ft x 1ft (125 Litres UK)

Thanks

Personally, I'd wait at least a few weeks. That's quite a few fish or a new tank. Things can still go pear shaped at 7 weeks, and the more fish, the more pear shaped. Wouldn't like the Neons chances with the Mollies, or the Guppies tails for that matter. Mollies will eat anythingthat fits into their sizeable mouths in my experience.

Luckily I purchased the 2 mollies as babies so they dont seem to be bothered about attacking the guppies at all... even though they are larger than them now.

I will wait another 2 or 3 weeks definitely before adding any new fish.... but any ideas of what I should add then??
