Ok so I have a 150g community tank and these are the fish I have. They're all babies. My question is, how many more fish can I put in?

4 golden dojo loaches
4 hillstreem loaches
6 albino cory cats
4 julii cory cats
3 cory cats with orange*fins
2 grey black and orange cory cats
1 African dwarf frog
7 bala sharks
4 powder blue dwarf garamis
2 orange dwarf garamis
2 albino dwarfs garamis
10 neon tetra
 
Well some people may disagree but with tropical community its still a pretty safe guideline to go with 1 inch of fish per gallon of water so I would add the totals of what they will he when full grown and go from there. I know balas can get to be 14 inches each and most loaches at least 10 inches each so u may be at about you limit not sure though.
 
Thank you so much. I guess I'm going to have to pull out the calculator and start adding up.

Should there be a second african dwarf frog for their social benefit. I don't know, just seems like i read somewhere that adf's do better with a companion.

Could be coincidence, but I originally purchased one African Dwarf frog a few months ago. I really liked it but It was always lonely looking. Just seemed to rest a lot. Once I got a 2nd one, I noticed they were both pretty active and they both seemed to like the tank much better!

Makes sense to me.
 
You will have trouble with all those gouramis. I have a 150g tank and had simply 3 dwarg gouramis. Things were fine for a few months even, but then aggression led to death. 1 gourami per tank was my lesson. Good luck
