Stocking a 36g bowfront

[Crazyhermitcrab]

I need need help with stocking my heavily planted 36 bow front tropical tank.


So far I have 4 female bettas, 2 Otto cats, and 2 ghost shrimp.
Is there any sharks, tetras, or catfish I can add to this tank?

I was thinking a pair of guppies, and a male dwarf gourami. My original plan included neon tetras... But I read they can only be added to mature tanks.... So what's your Imput.

As long as it is well established and maintained, I'd suggest adding a BN pleco and/or a small school of tetra. A young BN pleco and 6-12 cardinals would work if gradually added or planned for IMO. By planned for, I mean extra water changes planned for.

How long has your tank been set up?

Don't add a dwarf gourami the bettas and the gourami will fight constantly. I would suggest do a stocking of

4- Female Bettas
5- Otto Cats
8- Ghost Shrimp
8- Cory Cats
8- Harlequin Rasboras

Possible, but doubtful with a betta sorority. I'd avoid the DG for other reasons though.
