I would like to know if I have room for more fish in my tank check my signature for my tank specs..?????
 
what about one medium sized fish instead of a couple small fish?
 
If you're looking to add fish, you need to round out your tetra schools a bit more...at least 2 of each.
There isn't too much more you can add to the tank though.
Also, you may want to watch your angel....as they mature and get bigger, they tend to snack on smaller fish...so your neons may start disappearing. Neons are an Angels natural food source in the wild....even though most angels are captive bred now, doesn't mean their natural instincts won't kick in at some point in time.
Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide ;)
 
Could you post a pic of the "black neon" I have never seen one? But to your question...you really should add a couple more of each tetra as already stated, then I would say no more fish.

Good luck,

Gin
 
I agree with the others. If you are gonna add, add to your "schooling" types of fish. That would be the tetra or the cories. :D
 
Make your tetra schools at least 6 fish each, and preferably the cories too. You should maybe add another kuhli loach. i would be careful adding any more larger fish.
 
if the angel is still small adding more neons and black neons would be alright. but once they get big enough to eat them if you add new ones that they dont recognise they will eat them. if they grow up with the neons or other otherwise small edible sized fish, they recognise the individuals and wont eat them, but once they are big enough to eat them (usually by 2" body diameter) you may have trouble adding more. and no, you dont really have room for medium fish. what filtration do you have? what is your water change schedule? both of these issues have to be considered when determining stocking levels. you cant stock based just on tank size.
