Advice on Adding More Fish.

[Waylander]

Hi guys, my current 15 gallon tank stocking list is in my sig. I'm wondering whether I have room for any more fish in this tank at the moment?

If so, what I was thinking was one Dwarf Flame Gourami and a couple more Peppered Corys. Or maybe just one or the other or nothing depending on what you guys think. So how is my stocking, am I able to add these fish?

Cheers,

Kieren

I dont see why you cant add a flame, it would be a great centerpeice fish, not sure about cory's...

What are the genders of you platys and guppys? If you have males and females of each, the resultant fry is likely to overload your tank within a few months.

I think u should be alright.

Add a dwarf gourami and you will not have any problems with fry. You should also get 2 more of the same type of cory.

i would get 3 more peppered corydoras and thats it.
you dont have to worry about fry if you only feed your fish once a day or once every other day

Thanks heaps for the quick responses!

Dorkfish, I have 1 male guppy and 2 females, 2 male platys and 2 females. I have found that there is minimal to no harrassment. None of the females appear pregnant at the moment and there are no fry in my tank as far as I know.

Add a dwarf gourami and you will not have any problems with fry. You should also get 2 more of the same type of cory.

That's exactly what I was thinking , I'm not really interested in any more fry right now. So I should be alright with that bioload wise?

I have to agree with you there, that's my current method for population control . I love the peppered corys, but I'd also love to have a centrepiece fish, and those dwarf flame gouramis are pretty stunning.
