Hi
I have a 180 litre (47 us gallon) tank with
2x Guppy
2x Bolivian Ram
1x Leopardfish
1x Peppered Cory
1x Head & Tail Light Tetra
1x Neon Tetra
3x Harlequin Rasbora
2x Zebra Loach (botia striata)
1x Otocinclus
1x Cherry Barb.

I was thinking of:
2x Guppy
2x Bolivian Ram
1x Leopardfish
4x Peppered Cory
1x Head & Tail Light Tetra
5x Neon Tetra
6x Harlequin Rasbora
4x Zebra Loach (botia striata)
3x Otocinclus
5x Cherry Barb
1x Honey Gourami
Are there any more fish I could add or you would recommend?
Also what plants would you recommend?
I can get CO2 but only have gravel
Thanks

I think you need to rething your single h&t tetra, most tetras dont like to be alone but I could be wrong. I would also rethink your striatas with all the other fish, seems like it would get kind of crowded as they're all mature. Pros - its good you upped your cory and otto count, they like groups.
And what kind of leopard fish? Leopard danio or leopard bush fish?
If I remember right bush fish like slow moving water and I know loaches like faster currents so that may or may not be an issue.

Since you already have two striata I would add one more then rethink your other additions. Hope someone else can help you out more! have you gone to aqadvisor.com yet? its not absolutely completely accurate but its a great place to start and could be of some help.

Thanks im not sure if the Leopardfish is either as it looks like a small Molly but has never grown and was sold as a Leopardfish
