55gal Stocking/Overstocking

[Ken]

I currently have a cycled 55gal stocked with the following:

5 fancy guppies

3 platies

2 sailfin mollies

2 dwarf gourami

4 zebra danios

4 cories

2 ottos

several ghost shrimp

several plants: hornwart, elodia, amazon sord, java fern

Can I safely add a few more fish, such as regular mollies?

Am I at my limit on ottos and cories? (the tank has been running about six weeks with lights on about 14 hours a day, but I don't seem to have much algae).

Your water parameters will tell you the story there. If you're fightin nitrates, and I'm guessin your not with all those plants, then yes you should be able to add more. Too many cories?? How can you have too many of them? I wouldn't add anymore gouramis or ottos. Maybe a female platty and a fermale sailfin. Those types of livebears usually do better with a 2f/1m ratio. The females aren't so overworked. ;)
