Stocking suggestions

[Easyaqua]

Hey everyone,

I currently have a 45gal tank set up:
Stock:
3x tiger barbs
2x platinum tiger barbs
1x green tiger barb
2x albino cories
1x bristlenose catfish (albino)
3x golden barbs

Could I add any more fish?

I am wanting to add:
1x tiger barb
2x platinum tiger barbs
3x green tiger barbs
2x bronze cories
1x brown bristlenose
1x golden barbs
4x cherry barbs??? Maybe

Would this be do able or would it be pushing it.
The tank has a lot of open swimming place. 1 internal filter and 1 moving bed filter. I am going to be adding a canister filter over the next few weeks.

First of all, up you're golden barbs to 5 instead, and add 2 more cories.
You can't really add cherry barbs as the other barbs might nip or attack them. You could probably add 2 bronze cories, but I wouldn't think any more then that.

Sweet so 2 more golden barbs and 2 more cories what about 1 more green tiger and 1 more bristlenose is that possible

You would be overstocked. You should maybe only add 2 more tigers and that's it. You could add only one bristlenose, but it will be a tight squeeze.

So definitely a no on the bristlenose

So when I go to my lfs I'm going to get:
2x golden barbs
2x bronze cories
1x green tiger

Do you reckon they will be alright .

I am pretty sure that's a good stocking list. You can always ask for confirmation, but that's my opinion

Sweet I do love my barbs, thanks for all the help
