Stocking

[Millerman]

I've been meaning to get some more fish for my 55 gallon as it's understocked right now but I'm not sure how much more I can get. I need a second opinion.

55 gallon heavily planted~
1x rainbow shark
1x pearl gourami
6x black phantom tetra
5x bloodfin tetra
3x swordtails ( 2 males, 1 female, one of them was actually a young male that didn't have a prominent sword)
Will this be ok if I took one male back? They haven't been aggressive at all

Wish list~
5x zebra loaches
3x dwarf neon rainbows (will 3 be ok and will any more be overstocked?)

The sword situation will work fine regardless. You need to add 1-2 more tetra to each school. 5-6dwarf neon rainbows the zebra loaches likely OK, maybe cut back to 4

55 gallon
1 x rainbow shark
1x pearl gourami
2x swordtails
6x black phantom tetra
6x bloodfin tetra
6x dwarf neon rainbows
5x zebra loaches
Is this to much?

That could work, just be sure to stay on top of your nitrates.
