I was curious if what is listed below in my sig is too much for my 55gal. Five swordtails will be given to lfs soon, maybe this weekend.
Also, if I grab some new plants while I'm there, what do I use to kill off any parasites/snail eggs/ich,etc.?
 
I actually haven't noticed my kuhlis eating any snails. They might be too big for their mouths, or they just don't like the kind I have...? I wouldn't mind having more kuhlis though, their such sweeties :p: , maybe I'll pick some of those up instead of plants. BTW, at night I've seen them swirling about the bottom of the tank and I almost though they were intertwining like I've read they do while mating.
 
I think you're fine too, I might even consider more white clouds, are they schooling fish at all?
 
I think you guys are reading my mind, I was thinking about more white clouds too. What would be a decent and safe number of each species to add?
How many more kuhlis, and how many more white clouds?
 
Are they the only other fish you want to add? I mean, do you want to completely stock the tank with the type of fish you already have?
 
Yeah, I'd rather stick to these fish for this tank. It doesn't have to be stocked to the limit of course, but adding a few more wouldn't be bad. I just need to know some decent numbers so I don't go overboard.
