Hello. I have a planted tank (59x29x34h cm). The tank is cycled since february.
Current stock:
1 male betta(recovering from fin rot he had before buying him)
5 harlequin rasbora
3 amano shrimps
1 nerite snail

I have read about cherry shrimps doing well with certain bettas so I was wondering if I could add about 5 red cherry shrimps or more without overstocking the tank(since they have a low bioload)

sorry for my english and thanks in advance [emoji4]
 
I think the stocking would be fine. What type of filtration do you have?

I have the aquatlantis mini bio box 2 which is suggested for tanks under 80lt

The site describe the internal pump this way "The 5-watt EasyFlux 300 water pump works with a maximum flow of 310 L/h."
It has 4 cartridges with fiber, foam, carnon and clay.
 
Oh that looks like a neat filter. I think you will be fine.
It came with the tank and it doesnt seem very solid/of quality but from the description it does look fine. I guess it is.
Thanks for your patience in answering me, I really appreciate it.
Now I only need to find someone to sell me the shrimps since the local store doesnt keep them [emoji28]
 
Well...they just gifted me with 3 crystal red shrimps before I could buy rcs...lets hope for the best with the betta so I can buy more..3 seems a little group.
For now he doesnt seem interested in them.
