need 1-2 more fish- suggestions?
I have a very peaceful community tank, but most of my fish are ground-dwellers. I only have two very large platies and 4 small rummynoses that take up swimming space 9and the rummys like to hide in the plants).
I am probably VERY close to my bioload limit, but would like to add just 1-2 larger peaceful fish to add some colour and take up some middle-space. Any suggestions? 20 G 2 platies 2 panda cories 1 oto (maybe one on the way) 1 BN pleco 4 small rummynoses 2 kuhli loaches 2 mystery snails 2 MTS |

I'd say more rummies, get a nice school going.
Or 2 rainbowfish.

I thought rainbowfish needed more room than provided by a 20G ? I was advised against them when I was contemplating them for my 29G. Or did you mean dwarf neon rainbows ?

They do best in schools of 4+ (per species).
