Hello again.

I have a 55 gallon tank (walmart special). The tank is lightly to moderately planted (not sure if it matters).

Here's the current population:

5 Otos
3 Panda Corys
2 Dwarf Neon Gouramis (both male)
5 Dwarf Praecox Rainbows (two male and three female)
2 German Gold Rams (male and female)
2 German Blue Rams (male and female)
1 Dojo Loach

Roan suggested I increase my rainbow fish school to 6 so I am going to do that. She also suggested I increase my cory population. I am curious as to what number I am shooting for with a school of pandas or if I should add another type of cory? With that in mind, can I add two more female rams and a SAE? Or do I have room for a larger centerpiece fish?

I know the rainbows are a busy fish and probably max out my middle/top area but am curious as to how the Oto's factor in and also if I'm maxed out on the bottom feeders.

I was originally thinking about trying to find a female gourami but think that would just cause the males to be more aggresive towards each other so decided against that. :)

Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions :cool:

I wouldnt add any more female rams because they might get aggressive towards eachother.
 
I would go with 3 more pandas. Often, different types of corys won't school together much. They'll appreciate a few more of their own type. IMO I would not add any more different fish to your tank, I would just increase numbers of what you have. It sounds very busy already :) !! I think the dojos like company of their own as well, but I'm not positive. Most loaches are pretty social. Not sure about more rams...Good luck
