Additional Stocking

[Starka]

I am confused and can't choose what else I want to put in my 26gal bowfront tank. I was going to add a couple more platies and a swordtail, but also I wanted to add some small fish. I was wanting to get some ideas from my favorite fish people.

My tank has gravel, a couple of live plants, and the temp around 80F. I was wanting something to fill up the tank, make it look busy, but coexist with my other fish.

Current Stock:
1 male betta
3 male platies
2 bristlednosed pleco

What is your water change schedule and concentration of nitrates?

You could either add some more platies and be stocked, or you could add two schools of small tetras/rasboras/danio and be considered stocked.

Normally 25-50% Weekly. I test the water every three days in all my tanks and change as needed. On Sunday all three of my tanks get changed. I am away from home at the moment so I don't know the number off the top of my head, I'll tell you as soon as I can.
