Hi!
Ok so I currently have a 20g high with...
6 male Guppies
6 Neon Tetra
4 Julii Cories
I really want to add some more fish to the tank, so I asked around. Here is a link to my question and the answers I received. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...0vTXkF3ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100919151737AA4OgCM
Anyway, I really like the idea of adding 3 more Platies. I think that would look really nice, BUT the last answerer has a good point. The Neons would appreciate being in a larger school. Also, I went on aqadvisor.com and when I typed this in:
6 male Guppies
4 Julii Cories
6 Neon Tetra
3 Platies
I got 116% stocked! Overstocked by 16%? That's crazy! I don't want to do that... Without the Cories my stocking is 100%- perfect. I didn't realize that the Cories added so much to the bioload! I thought they contributed very little waste wise.. 16% is a huge difference.
SO please, I need some help here. I would love to add 3 more Platies and possibly 1 more Neon, but that is pretty overstocked. :'(
What can I do?
Thanks so much!!
