Community tank stocking

[Conman]

I have 17 small fish in a 55gal how many do you think I could stock still?

Greetings!

What fish do you currently have? Is your tank planted? What sort of filtration do you have?

 

[Conman]

It's a semi planted tank because I'm just starting out and I have:

1 female kribensis
3 black stripped swordtails
2 green sword tails
3 emerald Cory's
2 purple passion danios
2 rainbow fish
3 cherry shrimp

 

[Conman]

And just the stock 55 gallon Aqueon filter

 

[Fishperson]

Yeah, you could add more danios and a few more corys and a few more rainbowfish.
Do you know the amount of males and females for the swordtails?

 

[Conman]

1 male for each species of swordtail

 

[Conman]

So 3 female swordtails 2 males

 

[Fishperson]

Ok, thats pretty good. The m/f ratio for livebearers is 3f/1m. You might want to add another female. I would add:
3 more cories
4 more danios
4 more rainbowfish
and maybe another female swordtail. Just don't add any more males, and if you see the males harassing the females, then you need more females.

 

[Conman]

One female sword tail died this morning so need to add that to the list. And I have 15 cherry shrimp on the way

 

[Fishperson]

Yeah, then you should definitely add more female swordtails. Did you say that one of the females was pregnant in another thread?

 

[Conman]

What do you think?

Need any snails?

 

[Conman]

Snails would be cool

 

[Dyl1234]

Snails would be cool

I have baby ramshorn snails that are the size if a grain of sand right now! They grow extremely fast! When they get bigger they will be a mixture if blues browns and reds.
