65 gallon stock list - do I have space to squeeze a few more fish?

[Bubble_B0y]

I need a second opinion please.

I have a 65 gallon tank.
- 2 Angelfish (breeding pair)
- 2 Pearl Gourami (breeding pair)
- 6 corydoras
- 6 bloodfin tetra


I was wondering if I could squeeze 3 sailfin mollies,
and/or
3 swordtails in the tank.


would this be recommended?

Sure, I think you have room.

i wasn't too sure....

my concern was the breeding pair of Angelfish and Gouramis.
They live happily together and don't bother each other. Both the gouramis and angelfish spawned several times.

But they both have established territories.
The pair of angelfish is on one side of the tank. And the pair of gouramis are on the other side.
During feeding, they all come together in the middle of the tank.
Every now and again, they all explore and swim from one side of the tank to the other, but for the most part, they stay in their respective corners.

The corydoras, and tetras just school and mind their own business.

I'm just worried that it might upset the harmony in the tank by adding new fish - hence the reason for a second opinion.
For the good of the community, I won't be upset if I don't get them. But I must say the sailfin mollies and highfin swordtails are really nice!

If you feel the need it's going to risk the balance-then by all means don't. But if you have back-up plan then by all means try it!
