Yep, ANOTHER stocking question from me, lol.
Alright so here's the setup:
55 gal, with live plants, heater, tahitian moon sand, some driftwood, 2 filters (aquaclear 70, and fluval 305).
I currently have a stock of:
15 neon tetra
5 balloon molly
1 powder blue dwarf gourami (he's new... LOVE him!)
1 zebra nerite snail
5 albino cory catfish
4 julii cory catfish
I plan to bump the cories up to 6 each and will probably do so tomorrow (get 1 albino, 2 julii's).
I had planned on getting some chain loaches or another small type of loach to help control my pond snail population but no store around here will order them for me. I had a clown loach get rid of most of them, but I returned him pretty much right away because I was worried he was already too big for my tank and would die or something.
Anyhow, the snails SEEM to be under control but I am monitoring it daily. ( I should also mention that if I need to, I will move the cool snail (the nerite, who I WANT) to my 5gallon betta tank which was his original home)
I am wondering if I am fully stocked at this point? Or is there another fish or school of fish I could add to my tank and if so, what would you suggest?
As always, look forward to the informed responses I get here!
