More Stocking Suggestions

[Ziggs180]

So, I feel that my Current stock is still slightly understocked, and my tank still not fully complete in its stocking. I'm looking to add a few more fish to complete my stocking, and Would like some Suggestions. I had a female betta recently that died from dropsy, but i'm inclined to try again, however this time i will Quarantine.

What i have so far - 10 Harlequin Rasboras, 5 Amano shrimp, 2 German blue Rams, 1 Dwarf Gourami, 3 Platys, 1 Albino Bristlenose.I'm maybe looking to get 2 - 3 more platys (although I think one of my platys is actually a female swordtail), and another Female betta i mentioned before. However I'm open to any more suggestions.

+1 I agree or the platys.

Adding a new betta to the tank may not work great with the DG. I would only try it if you have a back-up plan. Sometimes this combo works, sometimes it doesn't.

When i added my first female betta I was worried because my DG was bullying my Rams, but the DG and the Female Betta completely ignored each other. I'm inclined to get 3 more Platies, because I'm not sure if the next female Betta I get is a murderous psychopath.

Although I feel that I still have alot of stocking left, because even after 2 weeks of no water changes, my Nitrates are still at near 0 from all the plants I have sucking it out of the water.

What about a bottom feeder?? Something that will just be on the bottom of the tank almost all the time.

I was looking at Corycats, but the Bottom level of my tank looks a little packed. My shrimp and Rams usually hang out there (my BN pleco is rarely there, usually on the plants or glass or on the Driftwood).
