Hello-
I am about to be setting up a new 55 gallon freshwater community tank.
I know definitely that it will have guppies.
However, I would also like it to have some schooling fish.
I would love to have rummynose tetras, green neons, pygmy corys, and celestial pearl danios. I would also like to have some ghost shrimp and 2 blue mystery snails.
My question is-with these species in mind, how would you recommend I go about stocking this tank? I would like the bulk of the fish to be guppies.
I figured I could have 6 of each of the schooling species, and then about 20 guppies.
Would this look messy? would it be overstocked? Should I not do all 4 schooling species?
What do you recommend?
The tank will be heavily planted with a 30 gallon sump.
Thank you!
