Compatible tank mates??

[yashinfan]

In my 30 gallon, I currently only have 10 zebra danios. I was wondering if this selection of fish would be compatible in a 30 gallon, fluval 203 filter, temp 24 C, pH ~7.5.

10 zebra danios
5 or 6 pineapple swordtails (can I keep 2 males and 3-4 females together without problems - besides breeding, that is)
3 or 4 blue guramis
2 cories

Is this too many? Are there any conflicts?

Thanks

I would avoid the gourami, 3-4 is an aweful lot not to mention that the 3-spot gourami (yellow gourami, blue gourami, and opalines) are one of the more aggressive gourami species... if you want larger gourami, I would suggest going with one of the following,
a pair of pearl gourami
a pair of snakeskin gourami
or a pair of moonlight gourami,

IME, 3 spot gourami are far more aggressive than these other species, I had a pair and the male caused havoc in my 75 gallon while chasing the female around... I now have a trio of pearls (2 males, one female) with low aggression even amongst each other.

Plus, you would probably be overstocking with 3-4.

Also, I would add maybe another cory cat or two.

I hope this helps a little.

Well, I don't see any compatability problems with fish species... I suck at determining bioload, though, so I don't know if that's too much for a 30 or not.
