Aquarium Advice Newbie
I currently have a traditional 20 gallon tank and would like to add some fish to the family. I have been running the tank for nearly a year. I currently have 1 young Bulldog pleco, 1 adult female platy, and 3 two month old female platies in my tank. I do 25-50% water changes on a weekly basis. I run my tank at 79 degrees and add a tablespoon of aquarium salt every other water change.
I am wondering how many fish I can fit in my tank? By no means do I want to overstock.
I am interested in adding 2-3 balloon mollies and possibly a few swordtails to the family. My only concern is if these fish would all get along well with one another? I have read swordtails can be quite aggressive. Would a male balloon molly get along with my platies? Ideally, I would like to have a male or two in the tank as well. I have a ten gallon tank that I could use when/if more fry appeare.
Would it be possible to add 3 balloons and 2 swords to my tank? Or should I avoid swordtails completely? What do you think would be best for my 20 gallon?
Any advice/knowledge would be a great help! Thanks in advance.
