Stocking my 55G

[aok]

Hello, I've been lurking for quite a bit and I finally had to make an account to ask about this! I already have quite a few fish but I am wondering if there is anything else I could add.

Currently in the tank:
Tiger Barb x5
Neon Tetra x6
Platy x2
Hi-fin Platy x2
Sunburst Platy x1
Black Molly x2 (Breeding pair)
African Dwarf Frog x2
Kuhli Loach x2
Pleco(not sure what kind) x1
Emerald Cory x1

I entered it into Aqadvisor and it came to 70~% but that was awhile back so I'm not entirely certain on that number. The tank is 55g and it has a Marineland Emperor 400 filter. If there is anything else I am forgetting please let me know!

Sounds pretty stocked, I would say 75-80% range. Maybe you could add a centerpiece fish like a dwarf gourami.

I would definitely find out the pleco species. Many can get quite large, are poop machines, and will outgrow your tank.

Also bump up the Cory school to at least 5. They are much more sociable and comfortable in groups.

Kuhli also like groups of 5+

After that if you have room we can look at options.

If I took a picture of the pleco would you be able to help? If it is one that could get too large, how would I go about giving him away or something like that?

Yes pictures will help a ton. You can try listing it on here in the classifieds or see if LFS will take it. All else fails, Craigslist.

I don't know if this will help, if not then I'll wait till it feels like moving!

Can I get a side shot to see his fins?

Think it is a sunshine pleco. If so they get 11 inches.

Going to try to send this picture again, this time right side up! I don't really think it looks like a sunshine pleco but then again I can't really tell the difference between most of them!
