Stocking ?

[emilyekk]

I have a 55gal and this is what I was originally planning on stocking it with:


2 pearl gouramis
8 glo fish
8 cherry barbs
6 albino cories
6 julii cories
5 balloon mollies
unknown # neon tetras


Now, with that stocking how many neon tetras could I stock? I was planning on 15 originally, but then I read that tetras look a lot better in groups of about 25... would that be WAY overstocking? What's the max amt. of neon tetras I could put in this tank?

i say make an even compromise and get 20

Personally, I'd go with less variety of fish and bigger schools. In a bigger tank I thik it looks better that way.

So, pearls, cories, and 2 big schools with the mollies, or 3 big schools and no mollies. Just my opinion.
