Hello everyone! My aquarium just looks empty to me! lol
Running now for 4 months
Maybe that is because the khulies stay in our fake grass, that they don't look to take up space, and the pleco only visits at night.


I have a 75 gallon

5 clowns
-4 female guppies and their young-7 fry (now developing tails and colour)
--4 silver hatchets
-5 khulie loaches
-one pleco (rubber nose)
- 1 male betta
5 dwarf rainbows


My bf and I were hoping to add more rainbows to make a better school- or the bigger rainbows? Would that be too many fish or do we still have the space?
Here is a current photo of the tank.

 
Sadly, the clown loaches alone overstock your tank. They grow HUGE and get waay too big for that tank. If it were me, I would rehome them and replace them with a larger assortment of rainbows. Boesemani, Turquoise, and red iranian would go well with your praecox rainbows.
 
I think 75 gallons while they are babies is fine. They are slow growers and should be ok for a few years. No reason to rehome them right now. Upgrading is a future goal. But right now they don't overstock..it will take a few years.
