i have a 125l tank the Current stocking is:
3 Female betta
8 Swordtails
1 GBR
7 Cory (3 Agaizii, 1 Trili, 3 Sterbai)

The final stocking should be: (hopefully)
8-10 Bettas
8 Swordtails
1-2 GRB
15 Cory (3 Agaizii, 1 Trili, 4 Sterbai, 5 Bronze, 2 Peppered)
SAE
and possibly a Bulldog pleco and Dwarf Gourami not decided yet, i have all the fish except the extra bettas


i personally thinking ok, but wanted opinions :good: the tank is over filtered and gets approx 30% w/c weekly :good:
the swords shouldn't be a problem as they appear to be a none breeding group :blink:(first time for everything :lol:)
 
It looks like a typical community stocking, not one I would have myself. If this was my tank, I think this is how it could be improved..
* 8-10 female Betta
* 8 swordtails (2m 6f)
* pair blue rams (although really, would prefer a trio of Apistos or pair of a slightly larger peaceful cichlid)
* 7 Cory (all of one species)
* pair of small plecos

The swordtails are 99% sure to be breeding even now (assuming you have males and females), but also very likely is that all the babies are being eaten.

This is just my personal opinion...

To me, your suggestion looks overstocked on the bottom dwellers, but apart from that the numbers of fish should be fine.
 
any more opinions, i could leave the other cories where they are, but the SAE has to go over, he's a bit big for the 60l he's in (QT)
